First day at a new school for Sandy, meeting the Pink Ladies.

And for the coolest guys at Rydell High.

The surprise reunion.

Doody´s learned how to play the guitar during the summer, and the boys perform a beautifully choreographed “towel-dance”.

Slumberparty at Marty´s.

Kenickie telling the boys how absolutely fantastic his “new” car Greased Lightning is.

Of course, in his dreams, this car is a real chick-magnet!

But Rizzo is less than impressed.

A day in the park.

“We go together”

At the prom. Patty´s got her eyes on Danny.

ChaCha wants a great dance-partner, and finds him in an unexpected place.

Vince Fontaine is hitting it off with Marty.

But more than anything, the prom is about dancing!

Danny and ChaCha wins the competition.

Sandy sings “It´s raining on prom night”

And Danny is just sad.

“Goodbye to Sandra Dee!”

And the transformation is formidable! (Sorry, no photos)

This is a truly remarkable ensemble. They all fit their characters so well! And they really do “go together – like remma-demma-dinge-dy-wha-ha!”

My job in this production is as head of props. But I´ve been working cross-section, from adapting costumes, designing all the marquee-letters, building carseats, making and buying props, and managing the wardrobe.

GREASE opened  January 29th and will run till February 22nd at Festiviteten, Haugesund.
