In this highly-anticipated prequel to the classic movie musical, Grease, viewers follow the story of the four founders of the legendary "pink ladies" and their quest to have fun on their own terms. Jason shares his experiences of portraying Buddy, his journey as an actor and musician, and his insights into the making of this exciting new series. Tune in to hear about the show's unique approach to storytelling and the moral panic it sparks at Rydell High.
In the series, Buddy is portrayed as the quintessential golden boy of Rydell High School. He is the star quarterback of the football team, the current student body president, and the most popular person in the school. Buddy's privileged status has blinded him to the problems faced by his less fortunate friends and peers, and he has a naive and idealistic view of the world.
As the series progresses, Buddy begins to confront certain truths about the school's social hierarchy, including the discrimination and prejudice faced by some students. These realizations leave him at a crossroads, and he must decide whether to maintain the status quo or to use his position of influence to effect change and fight for the rights of those who are marginalized. The series explores themes of privilege, power, and the responsibility that comes with them, and follows Buddy's journey as he grapples with these issues and decides who he wants to be.
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies- The musical series takes place four years before the original "Grease." In 1954, before rock 'n' roll ruled, before the T-Birds were the coolest in the school, four fed-up outcasts dare to have fun on their own terms, sparking a moral panic that will change Rydell High forever.
