Grease is a 1971 musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. Named for the 1950s United States working-class youth subculture known as greasers, the musical is set in 1959 at fictional Rydell High School (based on Chicago, Illinois (William Howard Taft School)[1]) and follows ten working-class teenagers as they navigate the complexities of peer pressure, politics, personal core values, and love.
