AdaptationHIGH

Randal Kleiser's film adapts Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey's musical about the summer romance of the greaser Danny Zuko and the new girl Sandy at Rydell High in the 1950s. It moves the story from Chicago to California and adds songs written for the film, including "You're the One That I Want".

About the work

Grease

A summer romance between a greaser and a visiting Australian resumes awkwardly when both turn out to be starting at the same high school, where neither can behave as they did on the beach. Four songs were written for the film and are the ones everybody knows, and the ending, in which she changes to suit him, is not the stage show's.
