Books, Music, and Lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey

April 30-May 17, 2025

The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be rebellious and provocative. At the heart of the story is the romance between hot-rodding gangster Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy Dumbrowski. They had a secret romance in summer, but now back in the context of school, peer-pressure and cliques make their love a bit more complicated. Can Danny maintain his cool dude status and still get make demure Sandy his girl?

The whole gang sings and dances around Danny and Sandy’s romance, through such hit songs as "Greased Lightnin'", "We Go Together”, and “Hopelessly Devoted To You”, recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. Achieving an eight-year Broadway run, Grease is among the world’s most popular musicals.

San Diego’s military presence shapes our economy, culture, and social fabric in profound ways. The region is home to the largest concentration of military personnel in the country, with more than 100,000 active-duty service members and over 240,000 veterans calling San Diego County home. The military contributes an estimated $63 billion annually to the local economy and directly employs nearly 148,000 San Diego residents through the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Veterans Administration (VA). Additionally, military-related government contracts generate over 222,000 more jobs, meaning nearly a quarter of the region’s workforce is tied to the military sector.

Don't miss Earl Thomas and the Gospel Ambassadors!

Performing in the Guggenheim Theatre at Park & Market. Our fourth installment of the 2024 Intersections Concert Series.

His latest production, after a three-year hiatus, is all vintage gospel or what the
singer says is "The music I was meant to do." His mother always said that he was a
gospel singer and now he is finally performing songs that have been, for decades,
the soundtrack of African American culture and history and the backbone of the
blues. Earl says: "These songs stand for our struggle, our pain, our strength, our
hope, our perseverance, our triumph, and our joy."

As a singer songwriter, his music - deeply rooted in the
blues and gospel - is infused with contemporary sensibilities of rock, soul, and
rhythm & blues. And, as a purveyor of African American tradition and culture, his is
a potent mix of the traditional and contemporary, expressed in an impressive
music catalogue and a vibrant 30 year career in music. With all that he has
accomplished, it's ironic that Earl Thomas stumbled into the music industry by
accident.

“With his dynamic band and stunning backing vocalists, Earl Thomas brings a tent
revival on stage! A high spirit, roof raising, foot stomping, hand clapping, get up
and dance in the aisles gospel show that cannot be ignored," says London's Time Out.

He was born into a musical family in rural Tennessee and grew up in a house
brimming with music; his father was a bluesman and his mother was a gospel
singer so music is in his veins. But his ambitions led elsewhere, as Thomas
considered music to be self expression, something he did with the family or
church. "I could carry a tune and loved singing along with the radio but I never
considered music a career path." It seems instead that music found him.
