What happens when the beloved classic Grease gets filtered through a strawberry-scented vape cloud and a TikTok feed? You get VAPE! The Grease Parody! — a riotous, Off-Broadway musical spoof that’s turning heads and rewriting nostalgia.
In this episode, we sit down with Scott Silagy (Danny) and Lara Strong (Sandy) — two of the dynamic stars bringing this hilarious parody to life at Theater 555 in New York City. They dish on their roles, the outrageous energy of the show, and what it's like to reimagine iconic characters for a modern audience.
We also dive into the behind-the-scenes story of the show’s legal battle with Grease rights-holders — and its ultimate victory as a protected parody under fair use. From high school cliques to hallway clout, this isn’t your grandma’s Grease.
