	We open "Grease (School Version)" from Samuel French tonight. I ended up using a 3/4 scale car based on a golf cart chassis, which turned out to be the perfect size for our 7th and 8th grade cast. I rented the car body from John Saari at Greensboro College. Here is a link to a news story that the local TV station did this morning: http://www.greensboroday.org/cf_news/view.cfm?newsid=293

	I am interested in the bed you had for Marty - is it still available? If not, could you give specs for building it? We have a very small space, and we are doing "Grease" at the end of this month (July 2009) - Thanks

	For our production of GREASE, we had bedroom sets on either side of the downstage apron that remained during the whole show. One bedroom was Marty's, the other was Sandy's. We had a couple of twin-size beds donated to us for the use of the show.

	Hi - I was wondering about the music for Grease School Version. You said you used a 7 piece orch. What instruments did you have? Samuel French only has the script listed - was there a separate piano/vocal score? Our group has to use the canned music musicals all the time since we are a community kids group with no musicians but, after reading your post, thought this might be something we could whip together - your thoughts. Thanks.

	Is the score the same for Grease original and Grease school version, just with different words? I have both scripts and am trying to decide which to do, but I couldnt find the school version score...? I know the song- "There are worse things I could do" isnt in the school version though. Any idea if they are otherwise the same?

	The school version of Grease is sometimes referred to as "De-Greased," as it removes a lot of the element that define the characters, and at least one song (the best one in the show), There Are Worse Things I Could Do: has been excised. It's sort of like making Romeo and Juliet more palatable for school audienced by letting them both live, get married and live happily ever after. Rick

	The original off broadway production (Eden Theatre) that transferred to broadway (Royale Theatre) used a scaled down 3/4 size car built that came down a motorized track in the stage floor from SL, traveled to center and turned DS. When the scene was over, the car turned around 180 degrees, went up center and then back out the same track.
