Grease Opens Tonight
Opening Night for Grease features a cast of nearly 70 students and the debut of a new director
The Buffalo High School production of Grease debuts tonight, November 13, at 7 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center.
Behind the songs and dances, Grease has taken months of work to put together. Opening night represents the culmination of many late-night rehearsals, dance practices, and vocal lessons. What the audience will experience is the result of hours of preparation and practice behind the scenes and features. Grease is also the directorial debut for English teacher Brandon Aldrich and over 20 freshmen taking the stage.
From memorizing lines and learning choreography to perfecting every scene, song, and transition, there is a lot more to a musical than just what the audience sees. With around 70 total students involved, Grease has been a major part in the school year so far and has brought together performers and crew members to work towards one common goal.
“The entire production team, actors and tech alike, have worked their tails off to bring this show together for [tonight],” Aldrich said, “We are so excited for you to come see it and have some fun with us.”
After months of preparation, all the hard work is finally coming together. From the cast on stage, to the crew working behind the scenes, every person has played a part in bringing Grease to life. Now, it’s almost time for all that hard work to pay off with Grease’s opening night.
“I am really excited for opening night! This show has been so much fun for me to be a part of. From the music and dancing to a cast full of so many people I really adore, it has been really enjoyable to be involved in.” Actor Kaylee Anderson ‘27 said, “I’m really grateful for this opportunity to perform my final musical here at BHS.”
Grease show dates are November 13, 14, 20, at 7:00 PM and the 21st at 2:00 PM. Tickets are available at buffalotheater.org or audience members can use an activity pass to see the show.
