Grease, the 1978 American musical, which follows the love story between a working-class youngster, Danny, (John Travolta) and Sandra (Olivia Newton John), who hails from a richfamily, is memorable even today, thanks to its evergreen songs and foot-tapping music. But very few people know that the movie, touted as the highest-grossing musical in the United States till date, was actually based on a 1971 play by the same name. Over four decades after the production was first presented in Chicago, it continues to be revived on Broadway and Westend. A revived version will open at Brisbane later this year too. But Indian theatre aficionados don’t have to fret as they will get an opportunity to see their own version when director Raell Padamsee’s Grease opens in August.u00a0
