Grease, Tell Me More, Tell Me More is a fabulous rockin’ and
rollin’ origin story with every juicy inspiration that went into
creating it. . . . A must read for all Grease fans." - Didi
Conn, Grease’s “Frenchy” What started as an amateur play with
music in a converted trolly barn in Chicago hit Broadway fifty
years ago—and maintains its cultural impact today. Grease
opened downtown in the Eden Theatre February 14, 1972, short of
money, short of audience, short of critical raves, and seemingly
destined for a short run. But like the little engine that could,
this musical of high school kids from the 1950s moved uptown. On
December 8, 1979, it became the longest running show—play or
musical—in Broadway history. Grease: Tell Me More, Tell Me
More is a collection of memories and stories from over one
hundred actors and musicians, including the creative team and crew
who were part of the original Broadway production and in the many
touring companies it spawned. Here are stories—some touching,
some hilariously funny—from names you may recognize: Barry
Bostwick, John Travolta, Adrienne Barbeau, Treat Williams, Marilu
Henner, Peter Gallagher, and others you may not: Danny Jacobson,
creator of Mad About You; Tony-winning Broadway directors Walter
Bobbie and Jerry Zaks; bestselling authors Laurie Graff and John
Lansing; television stars Ilene Kristen, Ilene Graff, and Lisa
Raggio, and many, many more. Read about the struggles, the
battles, and the ultimate triumphs achieved in shaping the story,
characters, and music into the iconic show now universally
recognized the world over.
