Theater 555

Australian-American actor Jamie Jackson plays Rupert Murdoch—the elderly and ruthless international right-wing media magnate whose family was the inspiration for Succession—in a solo show whose script, the show's producer claims, was left for him a manila envelope by an unknown playwright who wished to remain that way. Jackson also portrays more that two dozen other characters in a world premiere directed by Christopher Scott.

The pent-up, mixed-up, horned-up 1950s teen culture that was sent up in the 1970s musical Grease gets updated and upended in a modern-day reimagining of the show's characters and themes. The script is by Catie Hogan, with contributions from five other writers as well as lyricists Billy Recce (Singfeld) and Danny Salles; Jack Plotnick (Girls Will Be Girls) directs a cast of eight.   TIME OUT DISCOUNT TICKET OFFER: VAPE! THE GREASE PARODYAn unhinged new musical Save 35%!Tickets $45–$55 (regular price $66–$87) Promotional description: Vape! The Grease Parody is a hilariously unhinged spoof of the iconic and timeless musical Grease. The show pokes loving fun at all the wonderful moments, sexual innuendos, outrageous characters, rivalries and secret romances from the original. The hair products may have changed, but the drama, the rivalries and the thirst for hallway clout remain timeless. It's the musical you know and love…but dragged through a cloud of strawberry-scented vapor and a TikTok filter. It's the show that you want! (Ooh! Ooh! Ooh, honey!) TWO WAYS TO BUY  TICKETS:1.
