AMPLIFY: Bear Grease The Musical
Hilarious All-Indigenous Hip Hop Musical
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!
THIS EVENT SOLD OUT LAST TIME, SO GET YOUR TICKETS EARLY!
A Fearless, Funny, and Deeply Heartfelt Reimagining of Grease, this “Rez-ed Up” Remix Swaps 1950s Greasers and Pink Ladies for a Cast That Proudly Spotlights Indigenous Language, Music, and Moves with Broadway Flair.
Bear Grease reimagines the iconic 1971 musical Grease through a bold and comedic native lens. This all-Indigenous musical parody infuses hip-hop and comedy into a pow wow-powered love story that's equal parts hilarious homage and cultural celebration. Captivating audiences across North America Bear Grease has had over 200 successful performances over 4 incredible years, and is also the longest running (and only the 2nd) all-Indigenous musical to ever debut Off-Broadway.
The beloved songs of Grease are revitalized with vibrant cultural expression and Cree (Nêhiyawêwin) language: “Hopelessly Devoted” becomes a soul-stirring round dance, “Bear Grease Lightning” bursts with Traditional, Grass, Chicken, and Fancy footwork, and “Wichihin” delivers a powerful new take on “Stand by Me”.
