If you love the popular musical, you’ll be absolutely charmed by the Occidental Grand Aruba’s entertaining rendition of Grease, now being presented in the resort showroom. The Occidental Grand Aruba invites you for a visit into the world of Rydell High, Chicago in the 1950’s, the heyday of the American youth subculture, the greasers.
The musical is kicked off by the on-stage entry of the sassy Pink Ladies, followed by their male counterparts, the oh-so-cool Burger Palace Boys. Omar Chaves, the resort’s Fun Club Director stars as Danny Zuko, the love interest of the reserved and good-girl Sandy Dumbrowski. From his thick sideburns, tight black shirt, and greased coif to his buff arms, suave dance moves, and sweet talkin’, Omar is a dead ringer for Danny. This hunk is sure to charm all the ladies in the audience!
The international cast does an excellent job of maintaining the integrity of the original musical with excellent stage backdrops and props; signature rock & roll and solo tunes like “Greased Lightnin’,” “Beauty School Dropout,” and “All Alone at a Drive-In Movie;” and tremendous dance numbers. Audiences are guaranteed to witness one or two pant-ripping splits as well as 100 or more lifted skirts!
As the adolescent greasers explore love, friendship, teenage rebellion, and sex, the audience will laugh as the cigarette-smoking macho boys provide silly antics from start to finish while the gum-chewing Pink Ladies egg them on. The performance is engaging, all the way to the end when Sandy presents her transformed self during the last number—badaboom!!! With her mile-high hair and tight, black cat suit, Sandy will knock Danny’s—and the audience’s—socks off!
All ends on an optimistic note during the closing number, “We Go Together.” Whether you head out after the show for a fun-filled night at the casino or to your cozy bed, the Occidental Grand Aruba guarantees that you’ll leave the theater humming this doo-wop favorite. The entire experience is one that you do not want to miss. The Occidental Grand Aruba proudly invites you to share with them the Grease experience in Aruba, every Wednesday, for just $20 per person, and tickets are available at the Occidental Grand Casino from 12 noon every day. Stay at the casino after the show and experience live entertainment, loose slot machines, gaming table action and free flowing cocktails.
