It has a wood frame and skin of 1/8" masonite. It was based on a golf cart, so it could be driven on & off stage. I just finished making greased lightning for our local high school production. When the scene was over, the car turned around 180 degrees, went up center and then back out the same By: pkoenig The original off broadway production (Eden Theatre) that transferred to broadway (Royale Theatre) used a scaled down 3/4 size car built that came down a motorized track in the stage floor from SL, traveled to center and turned DS. The full orchestration for Grease (either version) is: What instruments did you have? Samuel French only has the script listed - was there a separate piano/vocal score? Our group has to use the canned music musicals all the time since we are a community kids group with no musicians but, after reading your post, thought this might be something we could whip together - your thoughts. Hi - I was wondering about the music for Grease School Version. We had a couple of twin-size beds donated to us for the use of the show. One bedroom was Marty's, the other was Sandy's. We have a very small space, and we are doing "Grease" at the end of this month (July 2009) - Thanksįor our production of GREASE, we had bedroom sets on either side of the downstage apron that remained during the whole show. I am interested in the bed you had for Marty - is it still available? If not, could you give specs for building it? Thanks for the reply! I think maybe MI is a little too far to ship to CA, but I would love to see a photo to give me ideas, if you don't mind. If you want to see pictures or have any questions, please let me know. We have a great Grease Car it is 4ft wide by 5ft week long, we did not do a full bed for Marty's bedroom, we just made all our pieces very representational and mobile. I am directing a production of Grease right now in Michigan, we close May 18, this Sunday. I too am interested in renting or buying a car and maybe some other set pieces such as the bed for Grease next month. Can you please send details and photos? - Thanks, Dani I am very intersted in purchasing or renting a grease lighting car. We also have a bed for Marty's bedroom scene that unfolds out of a big "Barbie Doll Travel Case". We spent so much time on this thing that I hate to see it taken apart, so it's for rent or purchase. It also has a flash pot under the hood so it can backfire when it first appears. One side is a rusted "hulk", and the other side is a finished street rod. It's based on a '32 Ford Deuce Coupe, and is full size (approx. 5' wide x 11' long), with working steering and headlights. We just finished a production of 'Grease' at a local high school, and have a pretty cool "Greased Lighting". it has working lights and wheels spin, but is on casters. ONLY PROBLEM IS ITS ON THE NORTHEAST (Long Island). I HAVE A CAR!!! ITS MADE OF WOOD AND IS PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE GREASED LIGHTNING. ya cheap, but had an excellent artist who painted the thing great! but we had two SHELLS made from chicken wire and paper mache that fit over the cart. They used rostra to give the illusion of an improvised car Stay with representation & even as it was presented originallyĪpparently. Presented in cartoon colours, for the sake of being realistic - theĪlso it created more problems than they could wave a stick at, but that’s all another story. The yoyo’s missed the point completely, of the mise en scene being The punters only applauded at the end of the number. Rolled on with the masking removed as Grease Lightning, it was pathetic! Masked with painted canvas & bits of tatt as Kinicki’s car & However the next time I did the set, the prevailing powers, decided toīe more realistic & use a real iridescent green hot rod. Helped by suitable lighting & a pyro ‘maroon’ flash pot, it worked Of "Grease Lightning" was given, the revolve turned the truckĪround & revealed the ‘Grease Lightning car on the other side. As the revolve moved around the truck followed until itĬentralised it’s self in the middle of the revolve. Spigot was drooped into a hole in the revolve, upstage of the trucks For the Grease Lightning scene, the truck was & the other side the ‘Grease lightning’ car.
