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.
yourj I am a teen of the 2010s and had my childhood throughout the 2000s so my most beloved musical will be "High School Musical" but I've known the musical Grease for a long time now since I discovered it in 2012 and to my point of view, this version re-introduced Grease to our generation. Grease is among my favorite musicals and this version proved that Grease really is the word.In my opinion, the 1978 movie and Grease:Live shouldn't be compared to each other. Why? Because both of them were just remakes of the original Broadway show in 1972. One for the big screen and one for the television. So they really are different. Some fans of the movie may complain but they should remember that the movie itself was just a version of the original and Grease: Live is a version of the Broadway show with some parts that were took from the movie version. But I understand why they react that way. I just don't like is that they don't include the original when comparing.I just loved the fact that some of the big stars from Hollywood were part of the show. It included former iconic teen stars, Vanessa Hudgens who portrayed Gabriela in the iconic musical "High School Musical", Keke Palmer from the Nickelodeon sitcom, True Jackson VP and Carlos PenaVega from Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush. Also appeared in the show were three of the decade's big music artists, Carly Rae Jepsen and Jessie J as well as the group band DNCE. It also included Mario Lopez with the Broadway star and Les Miserables actor Aaron Tveit and Dancing with the stars contestant-turned-judge Julianne Hough. It really wasn't just a show with unknown celebrities. Many were famous stars and it helped Grease: Live to get more attention from the younger audience.Speaking of the cast's performance, Everyone in the cast performed well. It may not be the greatest but they still did great. From major roles to minor roles they portrayed their characters well. I love the portrayal of Keke Palmer as Marty because she made Marty flirty, more bitchy and at the same time classy. Though her accent might really sound odd but I actually do not think she's overacting it. The way she acted is very theatrical for me. Another character that stood out to me was Elle Mclemore's portrayal as Patty Simcox. She really slayed it! I also liked Carly Rae Jepsen's portrayal of Frenchy. I never imagined her acting because she's a pop singer, but she really had a talent in acting. Vanessa's portrayal of Rizzo made her character more relatable. You can feel Rizzo on the way she portrayed.I also liked how they rearranged the plot to make things more understandable, like the reason why Sandy left the dance floor where in the 1978 movie, it wasn't clear. The musical performances were great too. I loved how they included "Freddy my Love" and "Those magic changes" where in the movie version, they were removed. "Those Magic Changes" were included though in the movie version but it was just among the background music during the Prom scene. I don't like the performance of Boyz II Men in Beauty School Dropout. It sounded very 1990s boy band. They should've sung ala The Platters. The newly added song number sung by Carly also sounded 2010s. Though I don't care about it because some of the added songs in the movie version also sounded very 70s. It included the opening song, Hopelessly Devoted to You and You're the one that I want, as well as the movie version of Born to the Hand Jive.The scene where the old met the new frenchie is so oddly satisfying for me.I don't like though the idea of the so called "Integration of the Cast". I knew that it was done to avoid some misunderstanding towards the black community but they should have sticked to the historical truth. But i'm fine with it. Over all this was a great version of the Broadway show Grease, both production wise and acting wise. Great job.
ambaughman Once you get passed the technical difficulties the vocals were horrible, Vanessa Hudgens' version of Rizzo left something to be desired and Carlos Pena Vega not only got lost dancing during Grease Lightening but let it show all over his face. Fell way below my expectations and had no business being aired and everyone needed to be fired. Boyz II Men weren't bad but weren't great, although they had the right idea handing them microphones you could actually hear them over the booming music. Now the only saving grace was Didi Conn and attempts at comedy by Ana Gasteyer (giving her credit with what she had to work with). They are the only reason this got one star. Oh before I forget julienne hough needs to go back to dwts and stay there she can't act to save her life nor does she have the vocal range to be sandy (sour note during hopelessly devoted to you and inability to hit higher notes, girl is alto in a role calling for a soprano).
hqfedlegion-1 I loved the original when Grease came out; I saw it twice in the theater and bought the album. I had it on VCR and on DVD and now digital. That being said, I am always hesitant when they 'remake' or modernize or do whatever they do to a classic. If you have never seen the original, this live version is good. You'd probably rate it 8+. While the new songs and the live audience was good, they changed the words in Greased Lightning. I always find it funny that in the good old days, which people think we were so wholesome, we had no problems with lyrics that are now considered 'questionable.'So with that glaring exception and some minor story changes, I did enjoy this and I really loved seeing Didi Conn in this. The shop teacher, who was Eve Plumb! was my favorite "from prison to the convent." Also, they did the original actors and actresses justice by capturing some of their mannerism and vocals. I liked seeing Mario Lopez as Vince Fontaine. I missed seeing Sha-Na-Na - and for those who don't know who they are, you really missed out. All in all I liked it and for a live version, very risky but worth it. But still loved Travolta and Olivia the best!
