    Comments Off on Bear Grease
    Bear Grease reimagines the iconic 1971 musical Grease through a bold and comedic native lens. With a rip-roaring score by Crystle Lightning and Henry Cloud Andrade, and direction by Crystle Lightning, this all-Indigenous musical parody infuses hip-hop and comedy into a pow wow-powered love story that’s equal parts hilarious homage and cultural celebration. Captivating audiences across North America Bear Grease has had over 200 successful performances over 4 incredible years and is now only the 2nd all-Indigenous musical to ever debut Off-Broadway.
    The beloved songs of Grease are revitalized with vibrant cultural expression and Cree (Nêhiyawêwin) language: “Hopelessly Devoted” becomes a soul-stirring round dance, “Bear Grease Lightning” bursts with Traditional, Grass, Chicken, and Fancy footwork, and “Wichihin” delivers a powerful new take on “Stand by Me”.

    Nazareth, formed in 1970, took Scottish rock international and paved the way for many other great Scottish bands that came later. Their 1973 breakthrough album Razamanaz was followed up by Loud ‘n’ Proud which contained the single This Flight Tonight and became a massive hit in Canada and Europe. The band became the first foreign band to do a coast-to-coast tour of Canada that wasn’t just part of a North American tour. When they arrived in the country, they were told it was the fastest selling Canadian tour of all time and in fact, had sold out faster than Elvis who had been there recently.
