Theatre Cambrian presents Grease
Feb. 8 – 23
Sheridan Auditorium, Sudbury Secondary
8 p.m.
This is THE
1950's rock 'n' roll musical. Rydell High's spirited class of
'59; gum chewing, hubcap stealing, hot rod loving boys with
D.A.'s and their wise cracking girls in bobby sox and pedal
pushers---capture the look and sound of the 1950s in a
rollicking musical. While hip Danny Zuko and wholesome Sandy
Dumbrowski resolve the problems of their mutual attraction,
the gang sings and dances its way through such nostalgic
scenes as the pajama party, the prom, the burger palace, and
the drive in movie. Songs recall the Buddy Holly hiccups, the
Little Richard yodels and the Elvis Presley wiggles that made
the music of the 50s a gas. Grease's eight year run made
Broadway history and its recent long running revival put it
among today's most popular musicals.Nightly at 8pm except
Sunday nights and Monday nights). Tickets are $26.50 for
adults, $21.50 for students/seniors and $16.00 for children 13
and under. Ticket outlets are Records on Wheels, Four Corners
Independent Grocer and Jett Landry Music.

evolved into the City of Greater Sudbury. If you or your group
would like to be involved, we are looking for partners to work
with us in recognizing who we are, in every corner of this
City. We are looking for people to tell us about the important
buildings and places in your neighbourhood, and to help us
