Grease Set Design

I chose to design a scene for the musical Grease. The show is set in the 1950s and one scene takes place inside a diner. This is the scene where the audience finds out the Frenchie dropped out of beauty school and before the famous song “Beauty School Dropout.” For this scene I tried to create the typical 1950s diner. First there would be a black and white tile floor and a red booth where the characters sit and talk. There would be a counter of the same red color scheme located somewhere off to the side of the stage with several stools. There would also be a sign advertising that this was a diner. The sign could be lit up throughout the entire scene. Other small accessories would include a classic looking jukebox, an old style pay phone, and milkshakes or other types of diner food set out on the counter and table where the characters sit and interact. I feel these small touches would really add a lot to the set. All of these elements would give the audience the impression that the kids in the musical are at a genuine fifties style diner. I think this set would be a perfect one for this very scene.
