I still like the musical despite having endured Grease Hell back in 1997.

I sold programs/souvenirs at Grease for a while. Now, every other theatre let you lock up your station during the show so you could leave if you wanted. (You technically worked a half hour before the show, during intermission, and right after the show).

The theatre for Grease didn’t let you lock the stands. You had to stay and watch the whole show. I did that 8 times a week.

The front of house staff had clearly gone insane. One lady would sing “Born to Hand Jive, Baby,” but she’d replace “jive” with “job.”

I lasted about two weeks before returning to Chicago. But I would occasionally pick up random shifts. I did see Lucy Lawless as Rizzo so that was fun.
