Your favorite original “High School Musical” is back and better than ever.

Tickets are already on sale for theaters in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Dallas, Seattle, Miami, and Austin. In addition, the film will take over the Hollywood Bowl on June 25th for a special one night screening.
For the first time on The Hollywood Bowl’s screen comes “Grease,” the famed movie composed of songs that voted this movie the best musical ever, with a ‘50s sing-along to Grease. The L.A. Philharmonic Orchestra presents Grease Sing-A-Long on June 25, with pre-show activities where audience members are invited to dress in 50s-themed costumes and join the pre-show parade. There will be prizes for best costume.
“This is one of the last big movie musicals, and this is the perfect venue for the show activities and movie,” says Jeff Brooks, owner of Al Brooks Tickets, a premium ticket source for concerts, theater and sports. “And, of course, people are going to want to come with friends, family or in groups. I have a selection of good seats for individuals and groups because I have the best sources in the business.”
Grease is a 1978 musical film directed by Randal Kleiser and based on Jim Jacobs’ and Warren Casey’s musical, of the same name. The film was nominated for five Golden Globes and an Oscar, and was the winner of the People’s Choice Award for Best Musical. The story is based in the 1950’s with songs composed expressly for the film. The theme song “Grease” by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees was performed by Frankie Valli.
The show will feature the Paramount Pictures film in glorious full-screen Technicolor and six-track digital sound, complete with subtitles so the whole audience can sing along.
Wear your best poodle skirt and saddle shoes, biker jacket and shades and bring your heartiest vocals to sing-along to “Grease,” “Summer Nights,” “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “You’re the One That I Want,” “Greased Lightning,” and many more songs.
