 The musical, set in 1959 in fictional Rydell High in Chicago, tackles such social issues as teenage pregnancy and gang violence; its themes include love, friendship, teenage rebellion and sexual exploration during adolescence, and, to some degree, class consciousness/class conflict.The show premiered in 1971 as "a play with music"[1] at the Kingston Mines Theater in the Old Town section of Chicago. Producers Ken Waissman and Maxine Fox saw it and suggested to the playwrights that it might work better as a musical, and told them if they were willing to rework it and if they liked the end result, they would produce it off-Broadway. The team headed to New York City and after additional collaboration and refinements, Grease which opened at the Eden Theatre in downtown Manhattan on February 14, 1972. Excellent reviews and brisk box-office business prompted the producers to move it uptown.The Broadway production, directed by Tom Moore and choreographed by Patricia Birch, opened June 7, 1972 at the Broadhurst Theatre, where it ran for five months before transferring to the Royale. It remained there for more than seven years before moving to the Majestic, where it closed on April 13, 1980, after 3,388 performances.The original cast included , Barry Bostwick (as Danny), Carole Demas (as Sandy), Adrienne Barbeau, Timothy Meyers, and Walter Bobbie.The show went on to become a West End hit, a hugely successful film, a popular 1994 Broadway revival, and a staple of regional theatre, summer stock, community theatre, and high school drama groups. A new Broadway production, directed by Kathleen Marshall and produced by British theatre mogul David Ian, is scheduled for June 2007 and Sandy and Danny were cast via NBC's show "Grease: You're the One that I Want!". The winners were musical theatre acting veterans Max Crumm, from California, and Laura Osnes from Minnesota. Another West End production is also scheduled (also produced by David Ian), with Sandy and Danny similarly being cast via a TV show, ITV's "Grease Is The Word". The songs from the 1978 movie that were not featured in the original musical will be featured in the 2007 US revival
