In 1959, Rydell High School's students are starting a new year. ('Alma Mater Parody'). Sandy Dumbrowski, the new girl at school and Danny Zuko, the leader of the ‘Burger Palace Boys', had a brief love affair over the summer. Sandy recounts her version of the fling to the ‘Pink Ladies' (Jan, Marty, Frenchy, and Betty Rizzo), while Danny tells the Boys (Roger, Doody, Sonny, and Kenickie) his rendition ('Summer Nights'). Sandy and Danny soon bump into each other at school, and while Sandy is happy to see him, he plays it cool. Meanwhile, the kids gather in the hall as Doody shows off his new guitar. The rock star wannabe gives an impromptu concert in the hall ('Those Magic Changes'). At Marty's pajama party, the girls experiment with wine, cigarettes, and pierced ears, and talk about boys. Marty tells about her long-distance courtship with a Marine ('Freddy, My Love'). Meanwhile, the Burger Palace Boys are busy stealing hubcaps and teasing Kenickie about his new (used) car ('Greased Lightning'). Danny sees Sandy again and tries to apologize for his behavior, but she is hurt to find out that he has told his friends that she is 'easy.' Head cheerleader Patty Simcox interrupts to prompt Sandy to join the squad and to tease Danny about his latest indiscretions ('Rydell Fight Song'). The kids take their newfangled portable radios for a rock and roll picnic in the park and plan how they will pair off at the upcoming school prom, while Roger shares his love for Jan and his favorite hobby ('Mooning'). Rizzo teases Danny for falling for a girl who resembles the excessively proper teenage ingénue, Sandra Dee ('Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee'). Sandy realizes that Danny is putting her off to be cool and wishes she had never met him. Then Danny suggests that Marty go out with Eugene, and she chases after him. Act I ends with a spirited pledge of friendship ('We Go Together').
Act II
At the High School Hop, everyone is dancing, except Sandy ('Shakin' At the High School Hop'). She is home feeling sorry for herself ('It's Raining on Prom Night'). Meanwhile, favorite radio DJ Vince Fontaine, is warming the kids up for the hand-jive dance contest. Kenickie dumps his blind date, Cha-Cha DiGregorio, and pairs up with Rizzo. Danny and Cha-Cha then proceed to win the dance contest ('Born to Hand Jive'). A few days later at the Burger Palace after school, a couple of the guys run into Frenchy, who flunked out of Rydell and has now dropped out of beauty school ('Beauty School Dropout'). Danny, who has taken up running in order to win back Sandy's affections, does not know that Cha-Cha's boyfriend's gang has challenged the guys to a rumble. He is more concerned about patching things up with Sandy at the Twi-Light Drive-In, but he moves too fast for her, and she leaves ('All Alone at a Drive-In Movie'). A couple of days later, the 'greasers' are having a party in Jan's basement, as Doody and Roger sing 'Rock ‘n' Roll Party Queen.' Rizzo is worried that she is pregnant, but she is so mad at Kenickie that she tells him he is not the father. Rizzo rejects the kids' offers of help, especially Sandy's ('There Are Worse Things I Could Do'). Sandy wonders what she needs to do to fit in at Rydell ('Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee Reprise'). The next time Sandy meets up with the Burger Palace Boys and the Pink Ladies, she has transformed herself into a greaser's dream date ('All Choked Up'). Rizzo reveals that she is not pregnant, and she and Kenickie reunite. All ends happily ('We Go Together-Reprise').

Synopsis
Rydell High's spirited class of '59-gum-chewing, hub-cap-stealing, hotrod-loving boys with D.A.s and leatherjackets and their wise-cracking girls in teased curls, bobby sox, and pedal pushers-capture the look and sound of the 1950s in a rollicking musical that salutes the rock 'n' roll era. While hip Danny Zuke and wholesome Sandy Dumbrowski resolve the problems of their mutual attraction for each other, the gang sings and dances its way through such nostalgic scenes as the pyjama party, the prom, the burger palace, and the drive-in movie.
- 'A lively and funny musical-as well as the dancingest one in town-that brings back the look and sound of the teenage world of the late 1950s with glee. It's a winner.. The songs.. are dandies [that portray] the early rockers .. with zip and charm .. The sheer energy of Grease carries all before it.' New York Daily News
Story
Grease is a class reunion flashback to the 'days that were' in the fabulous fifties.
Miss Lynch, still the old-maid English teacher, and the high achievers of the class, Patty Simcox and Eugene Florcyk, are presiding at the head table once again, but the Greasers and all the gang are back in the '50's reliving their hell-raising days at Rydell High.
Kenickie, Roger, Sonny, and the group are pressing Danny about his 'hot' summer. Concealing the fact that he met a girl he really cared about and didn't score at all, he leads them on.
Rizzo, the tough-talking leader of the Pink Ladies, joins with other members (Frenchy, Marty, and Jan) in meeting Sandy Dumbrowski, a perfect Sandra Dee, girl-next-door type. As it turns out, Sandy was Danny's summer love.
When Rizzo forces a confrontation, Danny plays the 'big deal' for his peers rather than show the tenderness he shared with Sandy last summer. Sandy is confused and hurt by his strange behavior.
At a pyjama party Sandy tried to get into the groove with the other Pink Ladies but gets sick. Rizzo mocks Sandy and splits to join the boys.
Kenickie and the guys customize 'Greased Lightnin',' a fouron-the-floor hot rod, guaranteed to snag any girl.
Sandy, still puzzled about Danny, becomes a cheerleader. Danny longs for Sandy but doesn't know how to approach her. It's time for the school dance, a special event to be hosted by Vince Fontaine, the nationally known D.J. There is a dance contest won by Danny and Cha-Cha, an obviously loose lady who seems to drive the final wedge between Danny and Sandy. Frenchy becomes a beauty-school dropout, encounters her teen angel, then flunks out. Rizzo confides that her period is late, and word spreads that she is knocked up. Danny and Sandy are briefly united, but he makes a pass at the drive-in and Sandy walks home.
On second thought, she turns to the girls for help and becomes a greaser's dream girl. Danny is knocked out. Frenchy is back in school and Rizzo is not P.G. Everyone is back together to rock 'n' roll happily ever after.
