Lyons MS/HS Spring Musical - Grease the Musical
Get ready to travel back to the rockin' 1950s with Grease, the high-energy musical that brings the iconic Rydell High to life! Filled with unforgettable songs, slicked-back hair, and poodle skirts, Grease tells the story of summer love, teenage dreams, and the trials of high school life. 

When cool greaser Danny Zuko and sweet Sandy Dumbrowski unexpectedly reunite after a summer romance, their worlds collide in a whirlwind of classic hits like "Summer Nights," "Greased Lightnin'," and "You're the One That I Want." With the spirited Pink Ladies, and the rowdy T-Birds adding to the fun, this show is packed with humor, heart, and all the nostalgia you could ask for. 

Whether you're ready to hand jive or simply enjoy a night of great music and storytelling, Grease promises a ride full of laughter, love, and electrifying performances. Don't miss out - grab your tickets and join us at Rydell High for a night to remember!

Tickets are FREE, but donations are greatly appreciated! If you would like to order/put aside any tickets, please contact Michaela Shaffer at mshaffer@lyonscsd.org. 

Musical dates: 
March 7th and 8th – 7:00 PM
March 9th – 2:00 PM
