“Grease” premiered in 1971 at Chicago’s Kingston Mines Theater and later became a Broadway hit. In 1978, actors John Travolta and Olivia Newton John made the film version of “Grease” an American standard.

“Grease” stars Seniors Liz Han as Sandy and Justin Arnold as Danny. Both Liz and Justin are thrilled to be in this production as their final show at EHS. Liz will be attending Mount Holyoke College and Justin Arnold will be attending NYU Tisch in the Fall.
