Grease (Theatre)	comment	Grease is an American stage musical written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. It is set in a 1950s America high school and revolves around the Greaser Delinquents subculture.The story goes like this: Rydell High School's resident troublemakers are the Burger Palace Boys (renamed the T-Birds in later productions) and their auxiliary, a group of girls known as the Pink Ladies. Their king is Danny Zuko, and he's back at Rydell for senior year. Meanwhile, sheltered transfer student Sandy Dumbrowski befriends the Pink Ladies and tells them about her dizzying summer fling with Danny, not knowing they'd both end up at Rydell. Danny and Sandy are reunited, but his tough-guy act causes conflict between them. Can everyone get through rumbles, sock hops, drag races, romantic tribulations, and other seminal events of 1950s high school?The musical debuted in Chicago in 1971 before a move to Broadway in 1972. Several revivals and restagings have been produced since, as has a 1978 film adaptation starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.Fox televised a live adaptation of the musical on January 31, 2016, directed by Thomas Kail and starring Julianne Hough as Sandy and Aaron Tveit as Danny. Others included Carly Rae Jepsen as Frenchy, Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo, and Keke Palmer as Marty. Mario Lopez appeared as Vince Fontaine, Wendell Pierce played Coach Calhoun, and Boyz II Men were featured as the Teen Angels. Unlike NBC's adaptations of The Sound of Music, Peter Pan, and The Wiz, Grease: Live featured a studio audience. Jessie J performed the theme song from the film, and DNCE made a special guest appearance.

As she walks on to a platform in front of the school entrance to finish the film, a crew member can be seen in the background, collecting umbrellas from cast members. Later, "We Go Together" starts with the cast singing the song to the Steadicam as they make their way to the studio lot carts. During the "Born to Hand Jive" reprise that closed the show, Mario Lopez can be seen within the group with his phone out, making a video.

Grease (Theatre) / int_23473ae7	type	Adaptation Expansion
Grease (Theatre) / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: To make the script for the 2016 live show, the script for the film was expanded with parts of the original stage play that did not make it into the film. This resulted in more dialogue and scenes for the secondary T-Birds and Pink Ladies, among other additions. Examples not taken from the play include: Marty is the one responsible for convincing the National Band Stand to film their show at Rydell High. She also gets to sing her song. Much like how the film added in scenes where we see Danny tryout for track, the live show added in scenes where we see Sandy tryout for cheerleading. Sandy is also given a backstory of having overprotective parents who do not even let her go to school dances, much to her chagrin. As a result, her change into the iconic skintight getup at the end of the show feels more like something she did for herself, not her friends. In contrast to Sandy, Danny mentions that he envies Sandy's parents for caring about her, while his do not. Eugene is given a passion for rocket science, and a calm demeanor to go with it. His knowledge is used to boost the speed of the T-Birds' car, allowing Danny to win his race against the Scorpions. Patty Simcox is given extra dialogue to establish that she is extremely competitive. Tom Chisum is given a line of dialogue instead of having no dialogue whatsoever. His dialogue happens when he introduces himself to Sandy, something we do not see in the movie. Frenchy (played by Carly Rae Jepsen) gets a song of her own right before "Beauty School Dropout", called "All I Need is an Angel". The TV version also finally states a theme throughout the movie, which is "What's the point of living if you don't take a few chances?"

Grease (Theatre) / int_33d5b7f2	type	Adapted Out
Grease (Theatre) / int_33d5b7f2	comment	Adapted Out: The early version of the musical had six greasers, but the sixth was cut when the show went to Broadway. A principal named "Dr. Devlin" was also lost in the Broadway alterations, along with some minor characters like a police officer, and a bum. A coach (Grabowski) was also in the script, but his scene was cut for time in the Kingston Mines production. It was reinstated in the revival. A 40th anniversary re-staging of the original Kingston Mines version originally included adult versions of Marty, Jan, Roger, Kenickie, and Frenchy in the Time Skip framing sequence. These roles were cut in later stagings, to shorten the length of the show. Dr. Devlin was excluded from the remake, as the time skip changed from taking place in 1970 to taking place in 2010 (the director felt Devlin would either be long dead by now or at least much too elderly to be hosting a 40th high school reunion).

Marty will almost always be a blonde, Frenchy a redhead, and Rizzo and Jan will have dark hair. The Burger Palace Boys will all almost always have dark hair, though sometimes a lighter-haired actor will be cast as one (as with Jeff Conaway as Kenickie). Averted with Sandy, who had auburn hair in the original Broadway cast, but otherwise has almost always been cast as blonde like Olivia Newton-John in the movie (and like Sandra Dee).

Grease (Theatre) / int_3dcc914f	type	Took a Level in Kindness
Grease (Theatre) / int_3dcc914f	comment	Took a Level in Kindness: The entire cast. Examples include: Right before his dangerous race with the Scorpions, Kenickie refuses to drive, stating that Rizzo's baby will need him around to take care of him as a father. Even in the graduation carnival, Kenickie tells Rizzo that he does not care if Rizzo's baby has a different biological father: he still wants to be there for her to raise the child. Kenickie also does not lift up Patty Simcox's skirt at prom. Instead, Eugene accidentally rips it off after both of them drink spiked punch. The T-Birds are a lot nicer to Eugene, to the point that Danny gives his T-Bird jacket to him, letting Eugene in the group. It helps that Eugene volunteers to rev up their car engine so that it drives faster during the climatic race. The T-Birds do not toss a pie at Eugene's face, unlike in the movie, where they do. Shortly before singing "Summer Nights", the T-Birds do not make fun of Tom Chisum for being a jock. Instead, they express frustration at him for being a legitimately bad football player. Putzie does not call Jan fat when he asks her out to prom, instead calling her weird. He also buys sweets for her more often, and they end the show licking a snow cone together. Doody's teasing of Frenchy is a lot less one-sided than it was in the movie. For instance, when he dances with her, he initially refuses to vary his dancing (like in the movie) until she tells him to "pluck her like his guitar", which gets a smile from him and leads to his declaration that he is having a great night with her. Sonny is a lot nicer to Marty, even showing her the gift he brought her at prom night, and comforting her at graduation when she expresses sadness at being alone. In the film version, Sandy talks to Frenchy about changing herself after the race. In the TV version, it is Rizzo that Sandy talks to. It helps that Rizzo is nicer to Sandy, to the point where she says that she knows a trick or two that can help Sandy change, when Sandy asks Rizzo for help.

Later, Danny makes a move on Sandy while they're at a drive-in movie theater, but she angrily leaves, calling his car a "sin wagon". And if you missed the subtlety of what he's singing because John Travolta's performance is so convincingly sad (including when he's essentially howling at the moon), there's a handy reminder in the background in the form of the commercial showing a hotdog repeatedly jumping into an open bun.

After "Summer Nights", when Sandy mentions it was Danny Zuko she met at the beach, Rizzo remarks how her Prince Charming could show up again.

At the cheerleader tryouts, Tom and Sandy make eye contact and flirty gestures towards each other.

Grease (Theatre) / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: The Kingston Mines version is said by the creators to have been grittier, more profane, and less colorful. The Broadway run increasingly softened dialogue and made the costumes more mainstream '50s attire (such as giving Sandy a poodle skirt), while the movie played things even campier. One example that Jim Jacobs cited was that the Pink Ladies' jackets went from being black to literally being pink, due to the movie's influence. The later London productions (which started in 1993) are also much more toned down, the costumes were made more colorful, and the directors re-arranged the order and orchestration of some songs to fall in line with the film (such as "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee" being performed at the sleepover instead of towards the end of Act I). Frenchy is even given pink hair◊ throughout the entire play, as an homage to her dye job accident in the film.
