Book, Music and Lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey
Grease: School Version retains the fun-loving spirit and immortal songs of the blockbuster show, but removes any profanity, lewd behavior, and Rizzo's pregnancy scare. The song "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" is also deleted from this edition. Grease: School Version is approximately 15 minutes shorter than the standard version of Grease.
Additionally, the following songs have undergone lyric changes for the School Version:
"Alma Mater Parody""Summer Nights""Freddy, My Love""Greased Lightnin'""Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee""Beauty School Dropout"
The remainder of the songs have been edited for time, with some verses deleted.
