Grease the Musical, School Version is the classic Rock n Roll 50’s musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. This year marks the fortieth anniversary of the film starring Olivia Newton John and John Travolta which was based upon the play starring Olivia Newton John and John Travolta. The production will pay homage to the iconic film with the help of Hawk TV, Bozeman high’s film class.

The play is revved up with heart and humor and centers around teenagers struggling to discover who they truly are as individuals. Director Stacie McKiernan explains it best, “Everyone in this play is struggling to be who they really are, so they put on facades to protect themselves. It is the classic high school experience”

Technical director Michael Hillenius who runs the Willson auditorium created an amazing set to emphasize the facades depicted in the show. It is the first time the high school student’s have started rehearsals with a complete set thanks to the hard work Mr. Hillenius and his crew devoted over the summer.

Musical Director Jacob Malczyk, Bozeman High’s choir teacher, lends his amazing talents to the strong vocal team. The magical voices of “Danny” played by senior Layton Henry and “Sandy” played by senior Rachel Simpson will melt your heart and soul. Directed by Stacie McKiernan.
