The Film: Grease
Join us under the stars for a toe-tapping, heart-thumping screening of the most beloved musical of all time – Grease!
Travel back to 1958 as Danny Zuko, the too-cool leader of the T-Birds, and sweet Sandy Olsson navigate the ups and downs of teenage romance, high school cliques, and jukebox jams at Rydell High. From summer love to school dances, drag races to beauty school dropouts, it’s a high-energy whirlwind of music, mischief and unforgettable style.
With a soundtrack bursting with timeless hits like Greased Lightning, Hopelessly Devoted to You, and We Go Together, it’s impossible not to sing along.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the world of T-Birds and Pink Ladies, this open-air screening promises a night of laughter, love and 1950s magic.
Come dressed up if you like, and relive the charm of one of cinema’s greatest musicals. Grease really is the word!
