A Numerical Analysis Of Grease
Grease is a 1950’s set performance that was re interpreted into a show at North Lincoln High School on March 18th, 2017. Presently directed by Aubrey Bridges and Stage managed by Emily Walker, it stuck to the original scenes of the play and executed them brilliantly. This show contributed to the on-the-go energetic lifestyle that teenagers still have today, intermixing the 50’s issues that high schoolers still experience today. Starting the show off with the rock and roll music, Grease is a fun musical that revolves around the love between two a boy and a girl that socially seem to be incompatible. Comically, however the two lovers are pulled together and along with this the journey that the audience is pulled into. This show was energetic

The show was playing from Sep 20 to Oct 13 and then got extended to show on Oct. 18th, 19th, 25th, 26th, and the 31st .The 6th street playhouse acting company did a marvelous job taping into their characters and expressing the emotions for every situation their character had. This play was based off of a movie called “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” about a very innocent and nonsexual couple who gets in a car wreck late at night while it’s raining.

    One example is when the book states,” We're poorer than the Socs and the middle class. I reckon we're wilder, too. Not like the Socs, who jump greasers…” This quote shows how the Socs jumped or beat up greasers for nothing. I also learned that the lives of greasers were rough. For example in the book it says,”"Need a haircut, greaser?" The medium-sized blond pulled a knife out of his back pocket and flipped the blade open.” This happened when Ponyboy was peacefully walking down the street. This demonstrates how greasers were always going through bullying for no…

They all slick back their hair with grease, and that's where the name Greasers came from. Ponyboy Curtis is the main character in this story, and he has 2 brothers, one named Darry, and the other named Sodapop. One night Johnny and Ponyboy are out at the park, and a group of Socs, the nickname for Rich Kids, came by and started beating them up. One of them stuffed Ponyboy's face into the fountain and tried to drown him, so Johnny stabbed him before he killed Ponyboy. The boy that he stabbed died, and so they went to a friend who gave them money and a gun to run away with. They ran away to an abandoned church, and one day Dallas, the friend who gave them the supplies came by and took them out to lunch, and when they returned the church was one fire.

    The first song in the musical and possibly one of the most well-known tells the story of how Sandy and Danny met. “Summer Nights” perpetuates gender essentialism as Sandy romanticizes her version of the story while Danny performs an emotionally unattached masculine recount. Danny sings lyrics such as “she got friendly down in the sand” and “she was good, you know what I mean” while Sandy sings more innocently about drinking lemonade and holding hands. The contrasting lyrics as well as the differing responses from the two friend groups sends the audience a message that men refer to women as objects and focus on sex, while women indulge in the romance. “Summer Nights” portrays gender as extremely binary and uses essentialist beliefs while reducing Sandy to plaything for…
