Grease is the (Gay) Word
The Gay Men's Chorus mounts a production of Grease unlike any other at GWU's Lisner Auditorium.

You've never seen Grease like this. On the weekend of March 19, at GWU's Lisner Auditorium, the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, D.C., produced an all-male production of the hit musical based on the original 1972 Broadway version (the one without "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and "You're the One that I Want," both of which were written for the movie version).
GMCW is the only gay men's chorus in the country that produces fully-staged Broadway productions, and they mostly stuck to the original script, set in a high school in the late-1950s and featuring the hits Greased Lightning and Summer Nights. The twist, however, was that this Rydell High School is comprised of all-gay students. Seems like 1959 was a year ahead of its time after all.
