When director Randal Kleiser decided to make a romantic musical about 1950s teenagers in the late 1970s critics predicted it would bomb.
It was a box office smash and remains the fourth highest-grossing live action musical worldwide.
A good girl, a (slightly) bad boy, car chases and a winning soundtrackhave made Grease a perennial favourite, picking up new fans with each decade that passes.
That is why Wanganui Collegiate drama department have chosen it for their senior production and will bring it to the stage next week.
Nightly performances at collegiate's Prince Edward Auditorium will be open to the public from Thursday, August 24 to Saturday, August 26 at 7pm.
