Canada's Rock n' Roll Legend
Joins the Citadel Cast of Grease

EDMONTON, AB – Bob Baker, Artistic Director of Edmonton's Citadel
Theatre announced today Canada's Greatest Rock n' Roll Legend, Bobby
Curtola will be joining the cast of Grease running May 3 – June 1,
2003 as Teen Angel.

"We are thrilled to have a true Rock n' Roll Legend bring his
amazing talents and experience to our production of Grease," says
Bob Baker. "Canada's Teen Idol is now Edmonton's Teen Angel."

In 1959, 16 year old high school student Bobby Curtola went from
pumping gas at his father's garage in Thunder Bay, Ontario to the
life a Teenage Idol. With his handsome boy next door looks,
everywhere he went there were throngs of teenage girls screaming
after him. Bobby Curtola's hit after hit included 25 Canadian Gold
Singles and 12 Canadian Gold Albums with songs like "Fortune
Teller," and "Hand in Hand with You."

Bobby Curtola calls the Edmonton area home and playing Teen Angel is
his gift to Edmonton. The role of Teen Angel was originated by Alan
Paul in the New York cast on Broadway and played by Frankie Avalon
in the Grease motion picture.

Pamela Gordon and John Ullyatt from last season's sold-out Nine
Sterling Award winning hit Cabaret, are reunited at the Citadel for
Grease May 3 – June 1, 2003 in a dazzling and highly entertaining
musical. Audiences around the world have joined forces with the
class of '59 at Rydell High to make this one of the most popular and
longest running musicals ever.

Grease is sponsored by:
