Summer lovin' is back!
9 Works Theatrical and 9PO
Due to insistent public demand, and fresh from bagging the 2013 PHILSTAGE Gawad Buhay Awards for Outstanding Production of Existing Material for a Musicale
, 9 Works Theatrical will be closing its season by bringing back on stage the “GREASE.” The Original High School Musical
, which was voted as the No. 1 Greatest Musical in West End
, will have more breath-taking performances that would take the
show to a whole new level. So throw your mittens around your kittens
and hand-jive the night away with the show that'll make you want to
stand up and shout, 'A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop, A-wop-bam-boom!' “GREASE”
continues to rock the house down in Manila from November 14 to
December 7, 2014 at the RCBC Plaza, Makati and will be directed by
seasoned actor and director, Robbie Guevara.
Synopsis

From Broadway Critics
"A lively and funny musical-as well
as the dancingest one in town. It's a winner...the songs are dandies
[that portray] the early rockers with zip and charm. The sheer energy of
Grease carries all before it." - New York Daily News
“Grease is STILL the word” - Daily Mail
“GREASE is irresistibly Hard to Beat” – Daily Express
“The Feel-Good, Pick-Me-Up Musical” – Sunday Express
“It’s Electrifying…Go, Go, Go!” – Sky News

…and what the Critics say about the Manila Run:
“The energy of the cool Rydell High
students inspired the audience to join the bopping and hand jiving,
especially to the "dip di-dip di-dip doo-bop a doo-bee doo" of "We Go
Together." - Manila Bulletin
“The re-staging of "Grease" in
Manila helps prove why, for many people, high school was one of the best
times of their lives. It's the kind of show that can make you believe
that you can be who you are, and that "Grease" is definitely the word, a
timeless story that no matter how old you are, you are part of them.” –
VC, GMA News
“The Manila run of Grease is a
must-watch for its energetic song numbers as well as great acting
moments of the cast. This is a pleasant surprise considering that there
were newbies who had the huge responsibility of bringing life to major
moments of the musical.” - PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal)
“...truly captured the youthful effervescence of the 1950’s.”

“High-voltage cast!” – JR Isaac, Circuit Magazine
“Amazing Cast.” - MetrMagPH
“Electrifying!” – Kate Alvarez, Spot.ph

GREASE
Characters
Danny Zuko – The leader of the Burger Palace Boys/T-Birds; good-looking, strong and confident, with an air of easy-going charm.
Sandy Dumbrowski – New girl in town; sweet, wholesome, naive, cute, and innocent.
The Pink Ladies - the club-jacketed, gum-chewing, hip-swinging girls' gang who hang around with the Burger Palace Boys.
Betty Rizzo – Leader of the Pink Ladies; tough, sarcastic and outspoken but vulnerable.
Frenchy – a dreamer; good-natured
but not too smart, she is heavily made up, fussy about her appearance,
particularly her hair. She can't wait to finish high school so she can
be a beautician.
Marty – the 'beauty' of the Pink
Ladies; pretty and looks older than the other girls, but betrays her
real age when she opens her mouth. She tries to act sophisticated.
Jan – Funny, loud, compulsive eater and awkward member of the Pink Ladies. Loud and pushy with the girls, but shy with boys.
The T-Birds - A super-cool, DA-haired, hard-looking group of high school wheeler-dealers... or so they think.
Doody – the youngest of the guys;
small, boyish and open, with a disarming smile and a hero-worshipping
attitude towards the other guys. He also plays the guitar.
Kenickie – the second in command of
the Burger Palace Boys; tough-looking, tattooed, surly and avoids any
show of softness. He has an offbeat sense of humor.
Sonny LaTierri – a member of the
Burger Palace Boys; funny Italian-American, he is a braggart and
wheeler-dealer who thinks he's a real lady-killer.
Roger – the anything-for-a-laugh
stocky type of boy; a clown who enjoys winding people up, he is full of
mischief and is always dreaming up half-baked schemes and ideas .
Vince Fontaine – a typical 'teen audience' disc jockey; slick, egotistical and fast-talking. He is also a veteran 'Greaser.'
Cha-Cha, aka Charlene DiGregorio -
the best dancer at St. Bernadette's; a loud mouth, she wins the dancing
competition with Danny.
Eugene Florczyk – the class
valedictorian; physically awkward, with weak eyes and a high-pitched
voice. He's a typical 'apple-polisher' - both smug and pompous, but
gullible.
Johnny Casino – All-American, rock-star “greaser” student at Rydell High, whose real name is Clarence.
Miss Lynch – A no-nonsense, serious, loud, English teacher.
Patty Simcox – a typical
cheerleader; attractive, athletic, sure-of-herself, but can be given to
bursts of disconcerting enthusiasm. She's a bit of a pain and unpopular
with the Pink Ladies, and can twirl a baton.
Teen Angel - good-looking,
falsetto-voiced, Fabian lookalike; singer who would have caused girls to
scream and riot back in 1958.
