FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 15, 2019
GREASE IS THE WORD!
POPULAR MUSICAL COMES TO THE SAVOY! MEET THE CAST!

The SAVOY THEATRE’S renovations are nearing completion, so now all we need is a little GREASE! The popular musical will be hitting the Savoy stage on May 22nd, 2019, for four nights and ticket buyers are already gearing up to enjoy a night out at Rydell High.

With a phenomenal score, erupting with hits like Summer Nights,’, Hopelessly Devoted to You and You’re the One That I Want, this electrifyin' story will be brought to life on the Savoy stage by an energetic and passionate cast who are excited to don their leather jackets and poodle skirts for a night full of fun. The cast is also expecting to see some Pink Ladies and T-Birds in the audience. “We’ve already had people tell us they’ve got outfits ready to go just to come watch it.” said Pam Leader, Savoy Theatre manager. "GREASE really is the musical everyone wants to see or be in, because from the first note that gets played, you can’t stop yourself from singing along. We’ve got a stellar cast to make some magic happen on stage.”

The Savoy Theatre is proud to present GREASE to Cape Breton audiences with award-winning director Ron Jenkins and well-known Musical Director Stephen Muise at the helm. “The team we’ve assembled is the perfect combination of creativity and experience. Ron is so creative in his approach and Stephen is an absolute dream to work with,” said Leader. Assistant Director Colin Appleton and Choreographer Cynthia Vokey are also part of the team to get GREASE to the stage. “The cast members are lucky to have the opportunity to work under any one of these mentors. We can’t wait to see the final product,” she added.

An eight-year run on Broadway and two subsequent revivals, along with innumerable school and community productions place GREASE among the world's most popular musicals. Audiences just can’t get enough of Danny, Sandy, Rizzo, Kenickie and the gang.

And who will be playing the roles we love so much?
