SYNOPSIS:
Here is Rydell High's senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding "T-Birds" and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking "Pink Ladies" in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head "greaser" Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their "Summer Nights" as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through iconic songs such as "Greased Lightnin'", "You’re the One That I Want", “Born to Hand Jive,” "Beauty School Dropout", and “We Go Together,” recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation.

MARTY
The 'beauty' of the Pink Ladies; pretty and looks older than the other girls, but betrays her real age when she opens her mouth. She tries to act sophisticated.
