Valley Youth Theatre brings the lively and fun musical Grease to Herberger Theater Center’s stage, playing through Aug. 28.

This musical about American high schoolers features music in the rock ‘n roll style of the 1950s and is the basis for the 1978 film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

Sandy Dumbrowski, the new girl in town, and Danny Zuko, the school’s coolest greaser, have a secret summertime romance. But when they get back to school, everything is different. Sandy attempts to navigate the tricky Rydell High School social waters and catch Danny’s attention again, but Danny is chiefly concerned with maintaining his tough-guy reputation. In the end, the Pink Ladies help Sandy figure out how to win back the leader of the Burger Palace Boys.
