Anyway, right off the bat he starts sendin' me things—and then today I got this kimono. (Trying to be cool.) Oh yeah, look what else! (Marty takes a ring out of her cleavage.) Frenchy Oh, neat!

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. Rizzo Hey, hey, hey! Hey, where's all the guys? Jan Those slobs. You think they'd spend a dime on their lunch? They're baggin' it.

[18] [19] 1993 London revival [ edit ] At heart Uncle Pirate proves more of a Boy Scout than a buccaneer, but that won’t distress theatergoers under 12, this diverting and often funny musical’s ideal audience … Theatergoers at a recent performance particularly enjoyed a classroom duel in which Uncle Pirate bravely wields first a pointer, then a ruler and finally a book. Education, it seems, really is the way to win life’s battles” ~ The New York Times Grease AND WHEN I WAS THREE I PUSHED A PLOW JOANNIE CASINO WHILE CHOPPIN' WOOD HE'D MOVE HIS LEGS AND STARTED DANCIN' WHILE HE GATHERED EGGS JOHNNY CASINO Okay, here's a little tune called "Anything"! (Band plays instrumental "stroll." Marty, Jan and Frenchy, Vince, Roger and Doody form lines as Danny and Patty come through center.) Patty I can't imagine you ever having danced with Sandy like this. Danny Whattaya mean? Patty I mean her being so clumsy and all. She can't even twirl a baton right. In fact, I've been thinking of having a little talk with the coach about her. Danny

Grease Ahh, there's nothing to it. I'm gonna teach "ballroom" at the CYO. (She grabs Eugene in dance position.) Now; one-two-cha-cha-cha! Three-four-cha-cha-cha-very-good-cha-cha-chakeep-it-up-cha-cha-cha ..... Eugene You certainly dance well. A version of the play is available that keeps some of the adult references and innuendo but excises some of the more explicit lyrics. BUT NOW THERE'S NOWHERE TO HIDE SINCE YOU PUSHED MY LOVE ASIDE I'M OUT OF MY HEAD HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOUSonny 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 THE TOWN-FOLK CLAPPED, I WAS ONLY FIVE JOANNIE CASINO HE'LL OUTDANCE 'EM ALL, HE'S A BORN "HAND-JIVE"! (Short guitar solo. Dance Chorus.) BORN TO HAND-JIVE, BABY! BORN TO HAND-JIVE, BABY! NOW, CAN YOU HAND-JIVE, BABY? OH, CAN YOU HAND-JIVE, BABY? OH, YEAH, OH, YEAH, OH, YEAH. BORN TO HAND-JIVE! (Eventually, all the couples are eliminated except Danny and Cha-Cha. On the final chorus, the kids stand around in a half circle and clap in time. Vince Fontaine pulls Miss Lynch onto the dance floor and tries to hog the spotlight from Danny and Cha-Cha At the end of the dance, Grease Miss Lynch. Thank you, Clarence. (All the kids break up.") Whenever you're finished (Noise subsides a little.) Before we begin, I'd like to welcome you all to "Moonlight in the Tropics." And I think we all owe a big round of applause to Patty Simcox and her committee for the wonderful decorations. (Mixed reaction from crowd.) Cha-Cha They shoulda got real coconuts!

[59] The 1994 revival chorus calls for 5 males and 5 females. Grease Danny Hiya, Sandy (Sandy gives him a look and turns her head so that Danny sees the Band-Aid on her ear.) Hey, what happened to your ear? Sandy

It is the night of the school dance where everyone is having fun dancing in the gym ("Shakin' At the High School Hop"). Sandy is at home by herself, listening to the radio and crying over how much she misses Danny ("It's Raining on Prom Night"). But in the school version, the 2 songs were set differently. While the Grease story centres on Danny and Sandy, there's plenty of moments to watch out for in Grease that don't involve them. During Grease, Rizzo learns that she might be pregnant, and Frenchy decides to drop out of high school to pursue a beauty career. Grease is filled with the trials and tribulations of teenage love, lust, and heartbreak — a definitive high school musical. Where is Grease playing? Danny Ok, yeah? Then whattaya doin' hangin' around? (Danny casually puts his hand on Marty's shoulder and Marty looks at him, bewildered.)SONG: “HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU” Sandy GUESS MINE IS NOT THE FIRST HEART BROKEN MY EYES ARE NOT THE FIRST TO CRY I'M NOT THE FIRST TO KNOW THERE'S JUST NO GETTING OVER YOU YOU KNOW I'M JUST A FOOL WHO'S WILLING TO SIT AROUND AND WAIT FOR YOU BUT, BABY, CAN'T YOU SEE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE FOR ME TO DO?

MY HEART IS SAYING, "DON'T LET GO. HOLD ON TILL THE END." AND THAT'S WHAT I INTEND TO DO I'M HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU Dominic "Sonny" LaTierri: The only member of the Burger Palace Boys without a musical number, Sonny is a character who imagines himself a Casanova, but most high-school girls find him repulsive. He is also quite cowardly, wilting in the face of any criticism. Shortly afterwards, the teenagers gather in the hall as Doody shows off his new guitar and performs a song ("Those Magic Changes").
