WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A new revival of the musical Grease will hit Broadway this summer, directed by Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall, starring newcomers Max Crumm and Laura Osnes, who were voted by the viewers of the NBC reality series Grease: You're the One That I Want to play the leading roles of Sandy Dumbrowski and Danny Zuko.
Grease was written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. The musical tells the story of Sandy and Danny; they have a summer romance and then end up at the same high school, where Sandy's good girl ways don't fit in with the attitude of Danny and his too-cool-for-school friends.

Grease is the word, but the quality of this production is only a few degrees better than a high school production. Fun for the out-of-town-ers, who wont be disappointed.

When the spiffy, spoof-y Grease came on strong in 1972, it asked the musical question whether a nice girl at a small-town high school belonged with the most prominent member of the local tough-guy & gal crowd. The answer was yes, but only if the nice girl agrees to become black-leather naughty.
In this second Broadway revival, the Jim Jacobs-Warren Casey blockbuster still asks the same musical question and gets the same dubious answer. But it also asks another musical question: Did the American public that watched the NBC reality-show Grease: You're the One That I Want choose the right twosome to go together like rama-lama-lama-ka-ding-it-y ding dong?
The long-awaited answer is that lea[...]
