On February 14, 1972, Grease was released at the Eden Theatre, with Barry Bostwick as Danny Zucco and Carol Demas as Sandy Dumbrowski.
The work received seven Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, and Grease performed 3,388 performances, setting a Broadway record at the time.
Grease tells the story of Danny and Sandy falling in love during a carefree summer revelry. Classic songs such as "You Are the Man I Want" and "Summer Nights", co-written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, helped Grease establish its place in the history of theater.
In 1994, Ricky Paul Goldin and Susan Wood starred in a remake of Grease, and in 2007, the show returned to Broadway again.
