This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths
and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as
"the relationship. • Act I explores the journey from dating
and waiting to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the
agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the
family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This
hilarious revue pays tribute to those who have loved and
lost; to those who have falien on their face at the portal of
romance; to those who have dared to ask ·Say, what are
you doing Saturday Night?•

Rydell High's spirited class of '59 - gumchewing, hubcap-stealing,
hot-rod loving boys with D.A.'s and leather jackets and their
wise-cracking girls in teased curls, bobby sox, and pedal pushers
- capture the look and sound of the 19SO's in a rollicking musi­
cal that salutes the rock'n'roll era. While hip Danny Zuko and
wholesome Sandy Dumbrowski resolve the problems of their
mutual attraction for each other, the gang dances its way
through nostaglic scenes with songs, reminiscent of the
rock'n'roll of the SO's such as 'Look At me, I'm Sandra Dee,'
===;J:! 'Summer Nights,' and 'Greased Lightnin.'
