The live show is so much more fun than the movie!  And the cast is enthusiastic and full of youth – they truly bring the stage to life, full of electricity.Grease Playbill

The best description for the show is Fun!  Fun music.  Fun songs.  Fun dancing.  Fun costumes. Fun characters… and really just fun to watch and be a part of the experience.  As a parent, watching the cast bring the stage to life and invite us in, the first response is pride.  These kids, of all ages!, make us proud of our community and of the talent that is being cultivated…. now generations of talent thanks to the multiple performing arts outlets in the city, including Moonlight Musicals and their Moonlight Arts Academy and youth ensemble Moonlight Directions.  Our families and especially our kids are the beneficiaries of their love of the arts, efforts, and talent!

We love that there is always an effort to involve the community, and especially families, in their shows, and Grease is a super-fun example!  Dressing up in 50′s attire not only has been encouraged, but rewarded with special ticket offers.  Dancing in the aisles is part of the fun for little ones and celebrity greetings before the show, during intermission, and after is always a treat!

There are so many fun references to the norms of the times throughout the show… A great chance for conversations with grandparents, teaching our kids who Annette and the Mickey Mouse Club and Shelley Fabares are, and some of the expressions too.  Due to our rich heritage through Buddy Holly, many local children already have a keen interest in the 50′s, and Grease will enrich that interest and connection to history and also local pride.

Although based in the 50′s, the show actually proves that there are some things that are eternal:  growing up, being a teenager and finding your way, is tough.  But the show reinforces that everyone makes mistakes and peer pressure is excruciating, but with support of one or a group of friends, you can find your way to being yourself.  Don’t fear change, because that’s when the real fun begins.

Don’t miss treating your kids, and yourself, to the most fun you’ve had in a long time!  We can’t wait for the next show and to see what Moonlight Musicals has up their sleeve for us next!  In the immortal words of Vince Fontaine: “If you’re havin’ fun, you’re #1!”
