While I acknowledge that title is a horrible pun, I will not apologize. If it's the reason you're reading these words, it did it's job.
This Sunday at 3pm the Get Reel Film Series Presents: Grease Sing-Along, a remastering of the musical-turned-movie classic that includes stylized lyrics at the bottom of the screen to help viewers like you mock Sandy with Rizzo in "Look At Me I'm Sandra Dee" or get down with the T-Birds in "Grease Lightning."
From what I understand, they not only added lyrics, but other more campy elements like birds and hearts around characters in love, giving it a little bit of a Who Framed Roger Rabbit cartoony humor to the film.
As fun as the movie sounds, it's the least of all the fun the MAC has planned for guests this Sunday.
Before the movie plays, audience members who prepared their unique version of a hand jive will get a chance to impress the rest of the audience with their creativity and talent by performing on the Bronwynn stage for about fifteen seconds (about two rounds of their jive) while "Born to Hand Jive" plays on the speakers.
Everyone who participates will get free admission to the show and whoever is the crowd favorite gets a special to be determined prized. If you're intimidated by the idea of getting on the stage, let me set the scene for you. You won't be in front of that many people, definitely less than a hundred. You won't be on the stage for very long. Your jive doesn't have to be complicated.
I've also heard a rumor that students who recently played in their schools production of Grease will come in costume and perform a song.
It's just one more way the MAC wanted to celebrate the delightful, overly nostalgic, quaint experience of a Grease Sing-Along. So come out, show off your jive and sing along.
