Warm up your doo-wop muscles and get those poodle skirts pressed. The folks at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles are getting ready to turn the venue into the world’s largest movie theatre again for the “Grease” Sing-A-Long.
“Grease” Sing-A-Long, which follows in the footsteps of the Bowl’s wildly successful annual “Sound of Music” Sing-A-Long, will make its debut June 25.
The beloved 1978 film – starring Olivia Newton-John, John Travolta, Stockard Channing and Jeff Conaway – will be presented in “glorious full-screen Technicolor” and six-track digital sound.
And don’t worry if you don’t remember the words to all of the movie’s hit songs like “Summer Lovin’,” “Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee,” “Beauty School Dropout” and “We Go Together” – the film will be screened with subtitles so everyone can get in on the act.
To add to the party atmosphere, audience members are encouraged to come to the Bowl in ’50s gear like, well, poodle skirts and letter sweaters and take part in a pre-show parade. Fans with the best costumes will win “fabulous” prizes.
Tickets, priced from $7 to $72, are available online at HollywoodBowl.com, by phone or in person at the venue’s box office. Groups of 10 or more can call 323-850-2050 to inquire about special rates.
