Omschrijving
"A rare and exuberant exploration and reminiscence of a unique and memorable piece of theater history, all in the words of the people who made it happen." - John Rubinstein
"Of the many shows in our company’s repertoire, few—if any—match the box office appeal of Grease. This incredible collection of stories not only sheds light on our audience’s affinity for the musical, but also serves as a touching testimony of how a collaborative community of artists can transform a few good ideas into theatre history." - Scott Klier, producing artistic director, Broadway Sacramento
The most comprehensive origin story of a beloved Broadway blockbuster ever written!" - RuPaul
