Set in Rydell High School in 1959 the show follows the trials, tribulations and loves of the “Greasers” and Pink Ladies as they go through the school year.
In the leading roles of Danny and Sandy, Brandon Delaney and Emily McInally were the perfect couple capturing the emotions of the characters and with great singing voices to carry off the many well known songs from the score.
They were both well supported by their respective groups of “Greasers” and Pink Ladies, each member creating their own individual character that never slipped throughout the show.
All other roles were well portrayed and it was obvious that the large supporting chorus was really enjoying the show and made the most of each appearance on stage.
The choreography was in keeping with the era of the show and was delivered with precision and passion in equal measure. Singing was to a high standard and was accompanied by a great sounding orchestra that never over powered. A simple but well used set and appropriate period costumes completed all that was needed for a great show.
Congratulations to everyone involved in the show – it’s safe to say the future of amateur theatre is in safe hand and I look forward to the next show.
