Catch ‘Grease’ tonight and come out humming
Earworms are all around us. You walk into a grocery story in search of, say, some eggs — and you walk out humming some song by Tommy Tutone.
Remember “867-530-ni-yah-ni-yun” ?
And nothing contains more earworms than a rock musical. “Grease,” for example. If you don’t believe me — or have been trying desperately to forget — you can see for yourself at 7:15 tonight at the Garland Theater when the 1978 movie adaptation of the 1971 stage musical will screen as the finale of the theater’s Summer Camp series.
Directed by Randal Kleiser , the film stars Olivia Newton-John, John Travolta, Stockard Channing, Jeff Conaway and others (including Didi Conn ). Set in the summer of 1958, the film presents a fantasy version of the greaser era, keying on how a “good girl” character (Newton-John) gets acclimated into the greaser realm by her summer boyfriend Danny (Travolta).
And you likely know the rest.
Admission to the show is $2.50. The cheap price covers all the earworms — including the one below.
