Review by Ladykristyn

"Too much singing" Hello! It's a musical! What were you expecting! And the 5 songs in the first episode were all under 3 minutes... Heavens! 12 minutes of singing in the entire 60 minute run time! The only song reused from the original was "Grease is the word." And the lyrics were not changed so I have no idea what that person was talking about. The story had parallels to the original but completely stood on its own. People crying that it's nothing like the original or is a sad pathetic mockery... No one claimed it was a remake, it's an origin story NOT a prequel! There's a few characters sprinkled in it and let's remember, this is before they became who they are. Sure this isn't perfect but sorry neither was the original grease (not trying to rag on the original Grease, it was my childhood and it will always have a special place in my heart.) However it's totally over watched and over done as a live performance and I personally can only watch it like every 10 years now. So it's nice to have a fresh take on it that still makes you feel nostalgic to the original! If you like musical theatre, you'll like this! And if you're that upset about it go watch the original! There's space for both! And yes there's even enough room for Grease 2 <3.
