GREASE Rocks!

Had a great time at the local civic theater Sunday. Saw Grease in all its glory.

The Georgetown Palace Theater puts on eight to ten productions a year, and I can't say they are all top-notch. In a town this size, casting options are limited, and sometimes the play is just plain a loser. But one thing the Palace has down pat is musicals: Grease was a real winner, with perfect casting, good voices, great dancing, and fast, FAST action.

As the mother of a girl, I can't say I think much of the ending, with virginal Sandy turning into as much of a slut as the other Pink Ladies, but that's not the fault of the Palace. All in all, I'll take slutty Sandy in preference to virginal Blanche any day of the week.
