To start off, I don’t think I stopped smiling once throughout the whole show. Everyone was perfect in their roles, capturing the characters perfectly! The guy who played Danny embodied him SO WELL, such great timing from him and the T birds who were also amazing! Maisy Jo did a phenomenal job, her singing…absolutely speechless. Rizzo was AMAZING, absolutely perfect expressions. Every single cast member was amazing and absolute stars. This production was beyond phenomenal.
