Students from Christ the King Catholic School in Broadview, just north of Greenwood, recently performed a flash mob at Barnes & Noble at Northgate Mall to promote the school’s upcoming production of “Grease.”
You can see a YouTube video of the flash mob here.
The students will perform “Grease” on March 29-31 at Shoreline Community College Campus Theater, 16101 Greenwood Ave. N. Tickets are $10. Call 206-364-6890.
We (Christ the King) are doing the Grease School Version. It is a challenge and great fun. The students are outstanding young people. They are giving so much of themselves to the production. Come and see it. We have and excellent live band. of students mixed with professionals. The choreography is really amazing and the singing actors are wonderful. You will laugh and smile.
heil!
Would you perhaps prefer that they do a “decent” show like Romeo and Juliet? — oops… premarital sex and suicide! Teens will be teens.
I was surprised by your comment, but then I’ve only seen the Hollywood Grease.
I think that publishers print more age-appropriate scripts of plays for schools. Wouldn’t want to let a money-making opportunity pass by.
I once saw a high school production of Evita, though I couldn’t say for sure that it was modified. That was in the early 1990s and I was appalled at the time.
I know the plot and lyrics from Grease . Why on earth would a Catholic grade school select this musical? What’s next…A Chorus Line?
