Teen Audition for Musical "Grease"
Auditions for teenagers ages 16+ for the musical "Grease" are being held. Please review the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Here is Rydell High's senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding "Burger Palace Boys" and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking "Pink Ladies" in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head "greaser" Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their "Summer Nights" as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as "Greased Lightnin'," "It's Raining on Prom Night," "Alone at the Drive-In Movie" recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. 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.

20 roles
The leader of the Burger Palace Boys. Nice-looking, with an air of cool easy-going charm. Strong and confident.
Danny's love interest. Sweet, wholesome, naive, cute, like Sandra Dee of the "Gidget" movies.
The club-jacketed, gum-chewing, hip-swinging girls' gang that hangs around with the Burger Palace Boys.
Leader of the Pink Ladies. She is tough, sarcastic, and outspoken but vulnerable. Unconventionally good looks.
A dreamer. Good-natured. Heavily made-up, fussy about her appearance - particularly her hair. She can't wait to finish high school so she can be a beautician.
The "beauty" of the Pink Ladies. Pretty, looks older than the other girls, but betrays her real age when she opens her mouth. Tries to act sophisticated.
Loud and pushy with the girls, but shy with boys.
A super-cool, D.A.-haired, hard-looking group of high school wheeler-dealers...or so they think.
Second-in-command of the Burger Palace Boys. Tough-looking, tattooed, surly, avoids any show of softness. Has an off-beat sense of humor.
Youngest of the guys. Small, boyish, open, with a disarming smile and a hero-worshiping attitude toward the other guys. He also plays the guitar.
The "anything-for-a-laugh" stocky type. Full of mischief, half-baked schemes, and ideas. A clown who enjoys putting other people on.
A braggart and wheeler-dealer who thinks he's a real lady-killer.
A typical cheerleader at a middle-class American public high school. Attractive and athletic. Aggressive, sure of herself, given to bursts of disconcerting enthusiasm. Catty, but in an All-American Girl sort of way. She can also twirl a baton.
A blind date. Loud-mouthed, and homely. Takes pride in being "the best dancer at St. Bernadette's."
The class valedictorian. Physically awkward, with weak eyes and a high-pitched voice. An apple-polisher, smug, and pompous but gullible.
A typical "teen audience" radio disc jockey. Slick, egotistical, fast-talking. A veteran "greaser".
A "greaser" student at Rydell who leads a rock 'n' roll band and likes to think of himself as a real rock 'n' roll idol.
A good-looking falsetto-voiced, Fabian-look-alike. A singer who would have caused girls to scream and riot back in 1958.
An old maid English teacher.
