Souhegan Revives Its First Musical Performance EVER!

Souhegan High School is proud to present Grease, the 1950’s rock and roll musical.

This is reviving the first musical performed at Souhegan in May, 1993 during the first year of Souhegan’s existence. The blast from the blast will take the stage April 4-7 at 7 p.m. each evening.

The Broadway blockbuster which lead to the movie hit in 1978 with Olivia Newton John and John Travolta promises to be a show full of nostalgia and farcical humor.  Rydell High 1959 is the setting as the Pink Ladies and Greasers pose and strut their stuff through the hi-jinx and ribald humor of the wild and happy 50’s.

Songs like “Grease”, “We Go Together” “Those Magic Changes” Freddie My Love” and “Mooning” capture the innocence and romance of this much loved era of Americana.

The cast features Shauna Sousa as Sandy and Jonathan Gottwald as Danny Zuko.  They are ably complemented by Meghan Bedard (Betty Rizzo), Morgan Chamberlain (Jan), Hannah Emery (Frenchie), Emerald Smith (Marty), Alyssa Lederhos (Patty Simcox), Kelsey Mack (Cha Cha Rodriguez), Brad Odhner (Kneckie), Matt Campbell (Doody, Bret Nickerson (Sonny), Christian Williams (Roger), Tim Saunders (Eugene Florczyk), Samantha Maxwell (Miss Lynch), Ryan Long (Vince Fontaine), Griffin Davis (Johnny Casino) and Ben Gottwald (Beauty School Dropout Singer).  

The cast is rounded out with a talented ensemble including Sydney Bertrand, Trysten Bewersdorf, Megan Dillon, Abby Fitzgerald, Rosie Hegfield, Ally Hull, Lindsay Lack, Sara Lafleur, Michaela Milne, Meghan Murphy, Quincy Raymond, Michael Robicheau, Abby Schulte, Sean Tatar, Leah Troie, Brandon Ward and Hannah Whitney.

Souhegan Faculty working on the show include: Patricia McMullen and Steve Hodgman, Co-Directors; Amy McGuigan, Choreographer; Stan St. Onge, Technical Director, ably assisted by Stage Managers Alex Airey ’14 and Bailey Ferris ’14); and Carl Benevides, Orchestra Conductor.
