The Capitol Orchestra and Grease

The Capitol Theatre announces the next installment of The Capitol Theatre Orchestra. In a powerful tribute to classic cinema and live performance, The Capitol Orchestra opens the afternoon with a spirited performance of 1920s-style jazz, setting the stage followed by a screening of the 1978 musical hit film Grease starring Olivia Newton John and John Travolta.

Grease is a musical set in the 1950s that follows the romance between teenagers. In California, 1958, greaser Danny Zuko (John Travolta) and Australian Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John) fall in love during summer at the beach. Unbeknownst to them, they both enroll at Rydell High School. Danny leads the T-Birds, a gang of leather-jacketed greasers, while Sandy befriends the Pink Ladies, a group of girls in pink led by Rizzo (Stockard Channing). When they meet again at Rydell's first pep rally, Danny acts differently than he did at the beach. They attempt to change for each other to make their relationship work.
