PERIOD AND COSTUMES: The '50s.

CHOREOGRAPHY: Rock`n'roll, jazz, twist, cha-cha, "slow" dancing. LIGHTING AND SPECIAL EFFECTS: General lighting, mirror ball for prom. NB: Grease is a creampuff of nostalgia that works best for those who grew up in the '50s. The second act ending is weak. The movie version solved this problem by reprising several songs. The movie is available on videotape and discs.
