GreaseGrease 2Grease Live – Randal Kleiser DVD

Double bill of musical romantic comedies plus the 2016 live stage adaptation.

In ‘Grease’ (1978), after their summer romance ends, Danny (John Travolta) and Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) are unexpectedly reunited at high school when the latter moves to Danny’s town. However, their relationship stalls when it becomes apparent that Sandy is not ‘cool’ enough to date gang leader Danny. Hit songs include ‘You’re the One That I Want’ and ‘Greased Lightning’.

In ‘Grease 2’ (1982) Stephanie Zinone (Michelle Pfeiffer) is the bad girl who catches the attention of English exchange student Michael Carrington (Maxwell Caulfield), who eventually wins her heart with the right moves and the right set of wheels.

In the musical adaptation of the 1971 film ‘Grease Live!’ (2016), Aaron Tveit and Julianne Hough play the roles of Danny and Sandy. With their relationship stalling, Sandy is befriended by girl clique the Pink Ladies, headed by the meddling Rizzo (Vanessa Hudgens), who is also vying for Danny’s affections. The cast also includes Carly Rae Jepsen and Didi Conn, the original Frenchie.
