The G Word
> THE HIGH SCHOOL HIJINKS OF RYDELL COME TO
PORTLAND
Everybody knows that the bird
is the word (at least anyone who
watches Family Guy). But if mod
ern movie—and stage, for that
matter—history has its way,
Grease is the final word. And now,
direct from Broadway, a new pro
duction of Warren Casey and Jim
Jacobs’ musical, which spawned
the 1978 film classic, is cruising
on in to the Keller for an evening
of randy reminiscing.
Named Time Magazine's, 2007
pick for “musical of the year,” this
latest stage incarnation stars Eddie
Mekka, best known as Carmine
“The Big Ragoo” Ragusa from
television’s Laverne & Shirley, as
DJ Vince Fontaine. (Yeah, it took
me a moment to remember him,
too, and I even watched the series
in its original broadcast run.)
O f course, the rest of the gang’s
all here, from leather-clad greaser
stud Danny Zuko to virginal
transplant student Sandy Olsson,
knocked-up Betty Rizzo to just-
plain-creepy Kenickie—and I’d be
remiss if I didn’t mention Frenchie.
So are all of the deliciously cheesy
song-and-dance numbers: “We
Go Together,” “Greased Lightnin’”
and “Hopelessly Devoted to
You”—hand jives and drive-ins
and poodle skirts meticulously
recreated for your nostalgic
pleasure.
I’m likely the only person on
the planet to not have a weak-
kneed soft spot for Grease—but
even I admit those “Summer
Nights” sound awfully appealing
right about (dreary) now. Go on,
then. You know it’s the one that
you want.
Thurs.y Jan. 13, 7:30 p.m.; Keller
Auditorium, 1111 SW Broadway;
$31.75-$63; 503-248-4335, tick-
etmaster.com orpcpa.com.
