Featuring a young ensemble cast, GREASE: LIVE will reintroduce and reimagine some of the show's most memorable moments, great music and timeless love story to an entirely new generation. In this live television adaptation of the musical classic, the beginning of senior year means the end of Danny and Sandy's summer romance – until Sandy unexpectedly transfers to Danny's high school. Can Danny maintain his bad-boy image as the coolest member of the T-Birds, once he and Sandy start going together, and can Sandy remain a good girl after she joins the Pink Ladies? With their friends Rizzo and Kenickie pulling them in different directions, it's up to Danny and Sandy to stay hopelessly devoted as they make their way from Rydell High to a new frontier.

Everyone sings, dances, works hard, and shines perfectly in every song and even in every exhilarating transition from stage to stage. I adore the original musical and wouldn't miss the Czech version, which I saw live. But this is the most Greased of all the Grease productions, where I stare amazed at the screen and cheer for everything and everyone. Greased Lightnin' and Born to Hand Jive charm the most, the "captured" race surprises the most, and Vanessa Hudgens is the most emotional, transforming Rizzo, not one of my favorite characters, into an unforgettable role even in her toughest moments. Rydell forever.

I wouldn't give it 100%, just 95%, but that's only because I believe the original is simply the original, and Travolta was a better Danny. But I have a soft spot for the songs from Grease, I have a soft spot for Julianne Hough, so definitely a great rendition for me. Moreover, I like how they managed to handle all the scenes in this essentially theatrical setting. Grease will simply always work.
