When one mentions the smash hit musical Grease, one of the first things that comes to mind is the timeless love affair between it's main characters, Sandy Dumbrowski, the new girl in town looking for her place to fit in and Danny Zuko, the slick and cool leader of the T-Birds. This romance ignites afresh on stage in Atlanta August 7 - 16 in a new production of Grease presented by Theater of the Stars at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. I had the pleasure of talking with Eric Schneider and Emily Padgett, who play Danny and Sandy, about their experience with the show and their unique take on these iconic characters.
