You've never seen Grease like this. On the weekend of March 19, at GWU's Lisner Auditorium, the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, D.C., produced an all-male production of the hit musical based on the original 1972 Broadway version (the one without "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and "You're the One that I Want," both of which were written for the movie version).
GMCW is the only gay men's chorus in the country that produces fully-staged Broadway productions, and they mostly stuck to the original script, set in a high school in the late-1950s and featuring the hits Greased Lightning and Summer Nights. The twist, however, was that this Rydell High School is comprised of all-gay students. Seems like 1959 was a year ahead of its time after all.
Featuring interviews with:
Clint Novotny (as Kenickie)
Jay Garvey (as Patty Honeywell)
Eric Peterson (as Rodger "Rump")
Richard Weinberg (as Betty Rizzo)

Sense I heard this song, the movie one, I have roleplayed gay/lesbian/bi Grease and this made my day

[@Pooleman96]

I seriously have to admit, the idea of an all-male "Grease" is actually VERY original! I once had an idea of a 'gender-swap' version of it, but this is just as good. Kudos to the GMCW for bringing a unique twist to one of my childhood classics!

@Pooleman96
My school didn't do that, but similar. It was a Performing Arts assignment which the students on this course needed to sort out themselves and they didn't have many boys as actors, so all the T-Birds with the exception of Doody I believe were played by girls. It was quite interesting and scarily convincing. I do love these contemporary forms of theatre where there is uncoventional casting. It is refreshing and it adds something to the make believe and excitement of theatre.
