So who’s going to dress up like Danny Zuko? A gathering of Hamptons high-flying billionaires — including David and Julia Koch, Apollo’s Leon Black and wife Debra, and Mike and Lori Milken — are on the host committee for a benefit with a “Grease” theme, the “Rydell High School Sock Hop” on Saturday.
The East Hampton Studio bash to benefit the Prostate Cancer Foundation is inspired by the iconic 1978 musical film and features decor by Colin Cowie, plus “1950s diner food with a twist” by chef David Burke.
Attire for the event will be “jukebox chic.” (And we’re crossing our fingers that the Koches will recreate John Travolta’s and Olivia Newton-John’s “You’re the One That I
A source said of the event, for which tickets range from $500 to a “Top Cat” of $5,000: “There will be classic cars outside as guests arrive. A cocktail area will look like a football field — with a school bus and cheerleaders, and the main room will look like the school gymnasium [done up] for a sock hop.”
Later, the dessert area will re-create a drive-in movie theater with more classic cars.
Entertainment’s being provided by pop duo Hall and Oates — not exactly ’50s, but their song “Rich Girl” would go well with the crowd’s vibe. Plus, Daryl Hall can probably do a hell of a cover of “Summer Nights.”
Other event hosts (and possible members of the T-Birds gang and the Pink Ladies) include Richard and Karen LeFrak, Dick Merkin as well as Glenn and Jennifer Myles, David and Sybil Yurman and Bonnie Pfeifer Evans. But with this well-heeled crowd, don’t expect to see any “Beauty School Dropouts.”
Meanwhile, the same night, another host of big names will gather and perform at the Apollo in the Hamptons event over at Ronald Perleman’s famed East Hampton estate, the Creeks.
Lenny Kravitz will take the stage along with Pharrell Williams, the Roots, Darlene Love and a few other surprise guests.
