SEGREGATION BANNED AT RYDELL! <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1721350311/mry7pyyxmfud6lln8qid.jpg" style="width:467px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%" />American teens, Dorothy and Lenny navigate friendship, romance, and the shift from crinolines to pencil skirts in the wake of Brown v. Board of Education and the integration of Rydell High. Sheen the Musical  brings all new music and a new luster to a classic tale of teen turmoil at the dawn of the 1960's. Sheen is the answer to Grease you never knew you needed, but are damn sure glad you have! It's Like Grease, but wit Lawry's! <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1721350837/kuefvywrnzm9mjnfdurj.jpg" style="width:345px;display:inline-block;vertical-align:bottom;margin:5px 0px;text-align:left;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit;float:left;max-width:100%" />In-the-know theater fans have been falling in love with Sheen The Musical since an early collection of scenes and songs were presented at A.R.T./NY’s 50th Anniversary Celebration in June of 2023. Later iterations were presented as part of Brooklyn Comedy Collective’s WOOF! Residency in the fall of 2023. As fall turned to winter, Playful Substance offered Sheen space to workshop new scenes to complete the script. Sheen has since grown from a 30 minute show to a full 90 minute musical that is now preparing for a week long residency at the venerated HB Studios August 19-25, 2024.
