The June Moon Talent Show is an event in the 1982 film, Grease 2. It took place on Friday, June 1st, 1962 - the last day of school at Rydell High. It was called the biggest event of the school year.
The Acts[]
- Stacie & Gracie performing Brad, The Song. Takes place during the T-Birds' pursuit of Lone Rider. Even though it was never performed it could be assumed that somebody else played the piano for their act as Michael Carrington was just returning from the successful leap over Dead Man's Curve, which was only a little over 4 miles from Rydell, so Michael was able to perform for the rest of the acts.
- Willie Willard performing Johnnie Ray's Cry.
- Martin Meisner and His Red-Hot... Accordion. A `fortunate' equipment malfunction - the Flamenco dancer's fan snapping in half - ended the song early, much to Mr. Stuart's relief.
- The Calendar Girls performing Girl For All Seasons.
- Stephanie Zinone and the Ghost of Lone Rider (Actually Michael Carrington backstage - he survived - singing from backstage) performing Love Will Turn Back (The Hands of Time)).
- The Preptones were going to compete with their male viewpoint singing of the Chordettes "Mr. Sandman", but the T-Birds "detained" them by tying them to the shower pole in the boys locker room and drenching them.
Winners and Prizes[]
Both the T-Birds and the Pink Ladies won their division of the talent show.
The Grand Prizes: 100 long-playing records, 2 certificates for 50 LPs each, including "at least Ten Roy Orbison albums" and classical music like Tchaikovsky and Chopin (Tee-Choks-ski and Choppin, according to Louis DiMucci). 50 rock artists, 50 classical artists.
Much to Goose McKenzie's chagrin, the T-Birds won the classical albums.
