A few soe3 wera dlScrott in the
movie (to suit Cll.h's voice, I'm guess
ing) and the ori&sl script used here
contains some lsrc-O slttstloas
that never mode it to the tccr.y hopper
screen.
The movie was fcrsed far the purser
crowd, but the pliy isn't. It's a parody
of those cherished ccaeiss of the '5Ss
crowd. The lyrics cf the togs mimic
the early strained rock and roll hits cf
the era, and the dress is a tctsl stereo
type of the different cl!i:s.
Eugene, the ckss brda end nerd,
Sandy the virss! "rdee" fill, "greas
ers" and the "PlsSt Ladies" comprise
some of thc-:o stereotypes to ccstisis.
The costsne dssSga cf Y2jr.s V.Tdta
are appropriate, nti too Eiohy sad def
initely ncstd 3.
I must ts&t fhst some cf the 'GCs
parody wes hot en me. Kr,y cf the
centers cn the pair's rehtienship.
Gilrcath has a geed voice r.i her
Anting is pretty pcd. She decs a fine
Job cf showing the audience the inter
ns! stresses she b suTTcreing because
cf peer pressure to drink, smoke cr.d
puhipa even "zo all the wy."
. EcMutcrbusch ts Dany i3 adequate,
but Ms vcics didn't r.iich the excel
lence we :t from r.rty cf the ether
casrackrs. He did do a good job cf
Cilr3 ncr.chzlmt'.y. but I nr.-cr tat th
Impression he was the tcuh-gyy gtg
leader that he was supposed to be.
The gjed thins .-ut the sija pr
Auction, ur.iike the r.cvie, Is that the
pby focuses more cn the v.hcia cst,
r,ct juot Esndy and D;nr.y. Other char
actrrs pve psrrormanccsjuot t3 r.cta
bla a3 these tv.-o, and the who! blended
together rather well,
I especially cr jeyed the comic Doody
and Eoscr (Jo! Tslbott and Danny
Jahnnon) and thought TrraTegtaeier
d.' d a fine Job both r.roicai'y and as an
actress with the re! 3 of the promiscu
ci:s and ccn&sGd Eira.
Three things stick in my mind as
First, there v.as a live five piece
bind porfonrdn the music, Instead of
having it piped in from God-know
when like on Solid Gold. Band meiabcrs
Tcdd Smith, Kimbcrly Warren, Mike
Erannan, Chuck Phillips and Paul
Henderson ail did a great job.
Second, the singing showed versatil
ity and ability on the part of the cast.
"Greasod lightning," was a fast-paced
rock and roil tune about Kenkkie's
(Kenneth Pae) hot rod, while Tegt-

most of the show's Qecn ssrgj wore
pcrfcrmod well.
Third, Kchard Harris, as Tocn jjgcl,
School Dropout" to the fariom Frcnchy
(Joyce C. Weisch). The voice was
smooth, and ths aecompanjlng noiiorj
and lnflootions wore pcrfoct. lie had a
restrained energy In the port thit r.ada
me wioh he had had a bigger psxt In the
play.
I attended last Friday rdf:ht and the
last fifteen rainutos cf thit . perfor
mance wore fiat. Tle p!:y loot its

strained.
The finale was fiat. If the entire show
had the saraa Intensity level u the loot

luckily though, the first two hours
were humorous and bubbly, with Just
enough rough language to remain
