"Why this car is auto-matic. It's system-matic. It's hyyyyydro-matic. Why, it's greased lightning!" -Danny Zuko
On the night of March 27, my friends Chloe Dimarumba, Grant, and I stepped foot into the Serra auditorium to watch the Tri-Musical Productions of Grease. I had never been to a tri-school musical before, but I was already not too fond of musicals. I don't know if it's envy because I can't sing or just the lack of my attention span, but my opinion on musicals wasn't too hot. With Grease however, I decided to give it a chance because I was familiar with the movie and wanted to support my friends. I knew everyone put in so much hard work and dedication to the musical, and I truly think it showed. Even when the musical had just started, I was already amazed at how intricate everything was. The costumes, hair, makeup, set, dance moves, acting, and sing was astonishingly amazing. I had no doubt that talent was dispersed among the students in tri-school, but my jaw literally dropped at how marvelous everyone was. Maybe because I'm not a critic nor musical aficionado, but I think everyone deserved to be on Broadway! I would have given them a standing ovation, but I'm pretty sure Chloe would be so embarrassed. This definitely changed my perspective on something that I thought so bitterly about before, and I'm really looking forward to next year's! I don't know if I'd go as far as to say I love musicals or that I want watch them frequently now, but I'm glad I've found something enjoyable to participate with during high school.
