Beauty School Dropout Live in Pittsburgh

The act Beauty School Dropout plays an all-ages concert in Pittsburgh. Its name comes from the Grease song written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, which Frankie Avalon performed in the film version.

In the musical, the song is the showcase of the Teen Angel — a guardian angel in all-white, styled as a Fabian look-alike — who appears to Frenchy after she drops out of beauty school, encouraging her to return to high school. That theatrical backstory gives the Pittsburgh show a nostalgic, musical-theatre edge.

This is an all-ages event, and support acts are subject to change. For fans of Grease or of the band, it's a live night out with a name steeped in Broadway history.
