Grease debuted on Broadway in 1972 and ran until 1980. There were other Broadway revivals in 1994 and 2007, but most audiences know it from the 1978 film adaptation starring John Travolta as Danny Zuko and Olivia Newton-John as Sandy. The movie grossed close to $400 million globally and, to this day, remains the highest grossing film musical of all time.
The musical tells the story of Danny and Sandy’s summer romance coming to an end and then how the good girl and the bad boy handle it when they unexpectedly end up in the same high school for their senior year. “Grease: Live!” has Julianne Hough as its Sandy, while Aaron Tveit takes on the greaser role of Danny. Joining them at Rydell High is an all-star cast that includes Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo, Carly Rae Jepsen as Frenchy, and Carlos PenaVega in the role of Kenickie.
Additionally, Mario Lopez stars as Vince Fontaine, with Wendell Pierce as Coach Calhoun, Ana Gasteyer as Principal McGee, Joe Jonas as Johnny Casino, Eve Plumb as Mrs. Murdock. Joining them are Boyz II Men, Jessie J. and Didi Conn, who starred in the film.
“Grease: Live!” is being filmed from two stages on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California. It’s slated to begin at 7 p.m. and run approximately three hours. Check out the “Grease” live stream below.
