The all-Indigenous hip hop musical parody of Grease!

Bear Grease reimagines the iconic 1971 musical Grease through a bold and comedic indigenous 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”.
