Summer on the Hudson has added the Grease Sing-Along to its 2010 summer Movies Under the Stars lineup. The event will open the free series on June 30 at 8:30 PM at Pier I, West 70th St. and the Hudson River

The 1978 movie Grease, based on the stage musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, stars John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, Stockard Channing, Jeff Conway, and Eve Arden.

Audience members will enjoy a restored print of the film and be encouraged to dress in 50s-themed costumes and join in singing such hits as “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “You’re The One That I Want,” and the film’s title song.

Grease will join the previously announced lineup of movies that include Neverending Story (July 7), Pan’s Labyrinth (July 14), Inkheart (July 21), The Fall (July 28), Big Fish (August 4) and Stranger Than Fiction (August 11).
