Background:
Before it was the 1978 movie, it was a stage musical… Grease played for 7 months in 1971 in Chicago at the Kingston Mines Theatre at 2356 N. Lincoln, the way its creators intended it: an honest, sometimes vulgar and comedic, portrayal of Chicago teenagers in the year 1959. The musical cost less than 0 to produce, including the paid for the Burger Palace Boys’ car, a 1951 Chrysler dubbed “Greased Lightning.”
Foster Avenue Beach figured in the story, as did a certain four-letter word, New York cleaned up the characters to make them easier to love and smoothed out their rough edges. But Chicago loved the Burger Palace Boys, four-letter words, dirty jokes, and all, because they were real = southern California sunshine and Sandy’s blonde hair were Hollywood’s doing.
In Feb 1972, Grease opened Off-Broadway at the Eden Theatre, then to the Broadhurst Theatre on Broadway, over to the Royale Theatre there by November ‘72, where it ran until January 1980. By the time it closed in April 1980, it had run 3,388 performances.
The Royale Theatre (formerly the John Golden Theatre, currently the Jacobs Theatre) is a Broadway theater at 242 West 45th St in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan. Opened in 1927, the theater has 1,100 seats across two levels; the facade and the auditorium interior are New York City landmarks.
