Betty Rizzo
My middle school did it and it was a great production. My mom loves this show, she saw the obc quite a few times. I prefer the movie to the stage version.
Mr. La Tierri....for more performances than I'd care to disclose...:)
Another Danny in high school here.
I've done Grease twice, once as Patti and once as ensemble/radio voice.
what a dreadful stage show.
I had a friend just yesterday tell me how well-developed he thought the characters in Grease were...I was like...huh?? And this is a smart, theatre-savvy gay man!
I was Marty this April in my high school. I was also Sandy's understudy. It was my first show so I can't complain about it.

i was rizzo, too!! not the best show ever, but it was so much fun :)
Count me in. I was in the ensemble (sing & dance, change clothes, sing & dance, change clothes, sing & dance... you get the idea), and I was one of the Straight A's. I think doing "Shakin' at the High School Hop" and "Raining on Prom Night" was probably my favorite part of the evening.
Straight A's! that's cute--when we did it, they were called The Super Kids
I played one of the geeky bookworms when I was in 8th grade. The movie is somewhat bearable....the show is not! It's funny because when I got to high school I always remember my director saying, "There are five shows I'll never do here...Oliver, The Sound of Music, Annie, Footloose, and GREASE!!"
That's too bad--all those show are serious money-makers...and audience faves...well, maybe not Footloose so much...
Willing to bet Our Town was on his list of plays...lol.
My first summer stock gig included GREASE! I was cast as Miss Lynch and Teen Angel. This gave me about 30 seconds, after the prom scene, to run down to the basement of the theater (an old dairy barn) and change from full on drag queen to '50s rock idol. It was one of the funnest times in my theatrical life.
There are pics of me on my website www.angelfire.com/ny2/BroadwayBob. Just click on photo album and then click GREASE!
You looked fab as Miss Lynch--I was hoping you played Aunt Eller too, but oh well!
Danny three years ago...would I do it again? Not quite sure :-P
I was Danny Zuko last year!!!!!!!
Eugene freshman year of High School 1997 was a long time ago.
Vince Fontane
Patty Simcox like 2 years ago
I played Patty like a year ago! it wasn't a great show but it was fun to be soy hyper! lol
Yep, last year.
It was a fairly miserable show with a few random, fun, moments along the way.
How bipolar was that sentence?

another roger here! bare @$$ and all.
Frenchy here. Horrible horrible production-but of course everyone and their mom came out to see it. We had to add extra seats in the isles of the theater.
