A fearless, funny, and deeply heartfelt reimagining of Grease, this “Rez-ed Up” remix swaps 1950s Greasers and Pink Ladies for a cast that proudly spotlights Indigenous language, music, and moves with broadway flair. Bear Grease reimagines the iconic 1971 musical Grease through a bold and comedic native lens.This all-Indigenous musical parody infuses hip-hop and comedy into a pow wow-powered love story that's equal parts hilarious homage and cultural celebration. Captivating audiences across North America Bear Grease has had over 200 successful performances over 4 incredible years, and is also the longest running (and only the 2nd) all-Indigenous musical to ever debut off-Broadway. The beloved songs of Grease are revitalized with vibrant cultural expression and Cree (Nêhiyawêwin) language: “Hopelessly Devoted” becomes a soul-stirring round dance, “Bear Grease Lightning” bursts with traditional, grass, chicken, and fancy footwork, and “Wichihin” delivers a powerful new take on “Stand by Me”.
Performance will be held in the Fraser Auditorium at Laurentian University. Everyone is welcome!
