Join us on Saturday night, February 28th, as we screen Grease 2, the Michelle Pfeiffer star-making sequel to the iconic 1978 musical.
It’s 1961, two years after the original Grease gang graduated, and there’s a new crop of seniors and new members of the coolest cliques on campus, the Pink Ladies and T-Birds. Michael Carrington is the new kid in school…but he’s been branded a brainiac. Can he fix up an old motorcycle, don a leather jacket, avoid a rumble with the leader of the T-Birds, and win the heart of Pink Lady Stephanie?
Grease 2 isn’t Grease. We get it. But we love it because it’s louder and messier, two adjectives used to throw it under the bus upon its initial release. But what was once a punchline has become a midnight movie favorite: a sequel that failed on release but succeeded, decades later, as gloriously ridiculous cult entertainment. The music and feeling go on forever!
