adonis98-743-186503 After enjoying a summer romance, high school students Danny and Sandy are unexpectedly reunited when she transfers to Rydell High. There Sandy must contend with cynical Rizzo and the Pink Ladies in attempt to win Danny's heart again. Grease Live! the live musical based on the 1978 music (not counting the sequel) is kind of tame just like it's predecessor's were, i mean as i said in my reviews for the movies, i loved the idea just not the execution or the story as a whole and this happens with this musical as well. To be honest the best thing that ever happened to the Grease name was probably that 'Glee' episode with Melissa Benoist and Blake Jenner as Sandy and Danny. (5.0/10)

Charles Herold (cherold) I had some doubts as I began watching Grease Live. It starts out with some young woman running through various stage lots singing Grease, that terrible disco song written for the 1978 movie, and I found it all a little too cutesy.The first scenes felt a little like community theater, a problem particularly noticeable with Aaron Tveit's Danny, whose attempt at a cocky swagger was anemic compared with Travolta's. The only one who hit the mark immediately was Ana Gasteyer as the principal.My girlfriend and I said, let's give it 10 minutes, but after a solid performance of Summer Nights that vocally matched the movie and had some cute, bleachers-based choreography, we committed to finishing it out, and wound up enjoying ourselves.Overall this is a very solid movie. While Tveit never quite fills Travolta's oversized shoes, Julianne Hough perfectly fits Newton-John's tinier ones, singing just as well and dancing better. Vanessa Hudgens almost matches the brilliant Stockard Channing, and does a beautiful job on There are Worse Things I Could Do. The movie adds some unrealistic but still welcome diversity to the cast. The show adds back some things lost from the original musical, including at least one number.There are just a few glaring flaws. First off, following the movie's tradition of adding a few pop songs, Carly Rae Jepson's Frenchie gets a new song that is less objectionable for being musically out of place than for just not being a very good song. Boys II Men ruin Beauty School Dropout with overly embellished singing that destroys the witty lyrics ("beau-ooo-ooty scho-ol dro-o-op-ou-ou-ou-out ..."). DNCE is awful as the rock band at the dance, sounding just like a bad high school dance band mainly because the singer has no feel for the music and keeps biting into the lyrics.Still, overall this was a very entertaining, if overlong, production of a classic musical. It can't beat the movie, but for a younger generation who thinks of Travolta as the crazy old scientology guy and Newton-John as "who?", it's probably preferable.

lorcan-61881 Grease Live premiered on fox on Jan 21st 2016. I pretty much just think of it as a remake when I watch it. The film has no actors that are too recognizable. The film is about a girl who moves from Utah to a high school who just left her boyfriend little does she know that hes in the same school and they fall in love. This film is too me,boring and very sad. I loved the original and this was just teen crap. Jessie J though did do the grease song really good but apart from that,this film is very disappointing. This was badder than the rocky horror picture show play which was also very very very bad. Grease Live to me is crap that tries to remake a good classic;failing.

Hitchcoc I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. This is a really nicely done musical. The performances are solid and the logistics must have been beyond the pale. The scene changes are outstanding. Compared to others of these live TV productions, this is far superior. The singing is really strong with an occasional dropout, but that's to be expected. One thing that I kept thinking is that Aaron Tveit looked kind of old to be Danny. I checked and apparently he's thirty-three. Of course, that is a challenge they had to face. As demanding as this musical is and the fact that so much professionalism is required, there aren't many true teenagers who could hold up under the pressure. If John Travolta goofed up, he could do it over again sixteen times. Grease has grown on me over the years and it was really fun to hear the songs again.
