Grease

We saw the Unionville High School production of "Grease" on Saturday night. It was super; what a talented, energetic bunch of kids! The singing and dancing in the big production numbers were just terrific, and I loved some of the clever background "business," like when the greaser boys stacked tires around the hapless nerd Eugene.
After the curtain call, the cast presented flowers and thanks to the adults who directed the show (and what a logistical challenge that must have been, with all the snow days this winter!). It was so sweet when Jackie Tremblay, who did a marvelous job playing the cynical, hardened Rizzo, choked up when she gave director Betsy Ballard her bouquet.
Huge congratulations to everyone involved in this terrific production, and I hope you had an awesome and memorable cast party. You will be happy to know that my date did a doo-wop shuffle on the way back to the car, and I found myself belting out "Hopelessly Devoted to You" in the shower this morning.
