Grease is the word at Keilor Downs College.

Students will channel Sandy, Danny, Rizzo and Kenickie as the school puts on a production of the movie Grease.

The production is more than 12 months in the making, with the show postponed last year due to COVID-19.

Musical director Cat Adey said the students were excited to finally be putting on the show.

She said they’ve had to look outside the box with some elements of the show due to the pandemic and restrictions that are still in place.

“It’s fun and something that people know,” she said of the show.

“We’ve sold most of the tickets already, with so many parts and a chorus of dancers.”

Ms Adey said there were about 50 students in the show.

“We have a brand new set of guys who have never done it before, so it has worked out well,“ she said.

Ms Adey said the topics covered during the production had opened up different conversations between the students.

The school’s production will run July 29-31.
