TOUR OF GREASE THE MUSICAL

Sandy is an Australian spending her summer holidays in America where she falls in love with uber-cool Danny Zuko. Their love affair ends when Sandy is despatched back to Australia with her parents, but fate intervenes and Sandy's parents move to America.
Sandy ends up at Rydell High - the same school as Danny, but he has a reputation to maintain and can't be seen going out with prim and proper Sandy. Sandy joins the feisty Pink Ladies but can't forget about her summer with Danny. Danny is similarly love struck and after many twists and turns, Sandy transforms herself, leaving behind her good girl persona so that she and Danny are finally united.
