SUMMARY:Bear Grease
DESCRIPTION:The hilarious all-Indigenous hip hop musical \nA 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.

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. \nThe 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”. \nTickets $30 – $40 | Includes all fees \nNote: Certain productions\, such as this one\, are not presented by the CCA\, University of Maine or the UMaine system.
