So, as a fan of the Grease movie's I've realized there are two people in life. The ones who like Grease and hate/ don't prefer Grease 2, then there are the ones who like Grease 2 and hate/ don't prefer Grease. Now I personally HATE Grease 2, I mean why bring Franky back just to sideline her
While I'd love to see it, from what I can tell there's been zero news since the director announcement almost five years ago.
Hi I'm auditioning for vince fontaine and it's me and this one girl and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get a good vince fontaine voice by next week it's needs to be a wacky 1950s radio voice any tips appreciated
Ok so here's the thing, yes I really don't like the Pink Ladies, especially dislike Rizzo and Marty, but I really love the T-Birds. I'll also admit I do love Frenchy, she's a sweetheart.
Do any of you dislike the Pink Ladies and what do you dislike about them?
In modern terms the pink ladies are "baddies" they are the hot or at least "easy"(term for that generation, no hate, I'm here for it) girls that rule the school. To back that up rizzo even says sandy looks to pure to be pink. Now Marty and Rizzo are of course very open about their extracurriculars so that's easy. Frenchie seems pretty reserved but rizzo makes a comment about her nickname as well as them open legged in the air move she makes on the bed during "Sandra dee" can somewhat confirm that she is indeed a baddie even if she's more reserved. Now what stumps me is Jan, I think she is pretty and unfortunately is always the butt of the joke which isn't fair but to be fair she doesn't strike me as the pink lady type. She kinda has poor hygiene, not very much style, and is never acting/being referenced as promiscuous. So how and where does she fit in as a Pink? (I also feel the same about all the Tbirds besides knickie+Zucco, the don't have the same cool guy energy)
Got this on sale and love the color.
Hello /r/Grease, I had noticed someone had wanted lyrics for Patty's deleted song ages ago and I decided to try to break them down in a reply.
I've tried to crack the case of a few more of those songs next for anyone else curious about the pre-Broadway version, focusing on Act 1 for now and using both the American Theater Company Original Grease audio and a 2023 London revival audio that added "The Tattoo Song" and "How Big I'm Gonna Be" to the numbers. The London staging of course, removed some Chicago and ethnic references in the first song, and I presume Miller's lyrics were given to another guy since they kept the Burger Palace group at 5 men rather than restoring the 6th one. The second song also has some lyrical differences, and is a lot slower in tempo.
Evidently, they must have gotten these lyrics and arrangements somehow from whoever has the rights to the American Theater Company staging by now, with PJ Paparelli being no longer with us. I'd presume they'd have to go through Jim Jacobs or someone like that? It's interesting how there was the Squabbalogic Australian production of the Original Grease, but then these London stagings and some amateur ones are able to cherry-pick what songs from there they want and then tweak the lyrics.
The Burger Palace Boys' a capella songs already were tricky to break down, and haven't been able to figure who was singing what yet in having to learn the voices for each actor/singer. And then, Danny's restored solo has some drop-out and muffling that's harder on the hearing. Corrections and any help are welcome, and if anyone has the actual lyrics anywhere that'll be totally neat! ETA: kind of tapped out after this, "In My Day" in Act 2 is pretty audible but a lot more ATC audio just isn't compatible with the ears and some songs like "Kiss It" would be very patchy with transcribing.

How Big I'm Gonna Be
I don't need no chick to make me ambitious
Stupid teachers that are mean and vicious
Clean your room and wash the dishes
Forget daydreaming and making wishes
Just you wait and see
How big I'm gonna be
I can't wait to split this high school scene
(inaudible)
Give me a chance to start out clean
And I'll become Daddy Cool
A millionaire with world-wide fame
A movie star with a brand new name
I haven't got my own jet plane
Sirloin steak with brand champagne
So whatever it be
How big I'm gonna be
I can't wait to hit the big-time
(inaudible)
Leave behind the scene of the crime
'Cause I'm walking tall and strong
Girls are gonna scream and swoon
(inaudible)
(inaudible)
Then you'll be whistling a different tune
I think we all agree
How big I'm gonna be
How big I'm gonna be
How big I'm gonna be
How big I'm gonna be!
Regardless of when the story is set, what would be the best vehicle for a Grease 3?
Any suggestions for movies similar to Grease?
How do you guys stay in that high pitched voice omg it's so hard
I’m currently working on a project for school where we are reviving Grease and it’s fashion aspects. Could you pleaseee help out and fill in this survey🙏🙏🙏
I love the silhouette and how flowy and fitted it is, and wanted to look for patterns or vintage dresses of the sort but not sure what I should look for
My take on Asian Rizzo 😆😆
I have been searching for months for any text related to the 1971 (or 2011) version of Grease and found something in the Chicago Public Library. In their website they list a box with Warren Casey documents and one of them being the 1971 script. I do not live in the U.S but I've read somewhere that anyone can go there and read it, even transcribe it... Is that true?
