It’s a step back in time, a rollicking romp to those rock-and-roll heydays otherwise known as the 50s for those who opt to see the Roxy Theater’s 2007-08 season opener, Grease.

What’s cool? What’s not cool? Relationship answers you’ve always been looking for will knock you upside the head in this live professional performance. What’s that? Tell me more, tell me more, you say. It’s been many years since John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John responded to those lyrics while romping across the grounds and hallowed halls of Rydell High. «Read the rest of this article»
