I would love a revival of "Marathon 33". It got overshadowed by the movie "They Shoot Horses, Don't They" but it was a great show.

It's the rules. The moderator is definitely not moderate.

If you're into Broadway and a lot of inside humor, Something Rotten. More than Fiddler.

THANK YOU!!! I'm always loathe to admit I don't like Wicked, Hamilton, and Phantom.

I would also add Spring Awakenings.

"Vector,  at the time did you go for Sandy, Rizzo, Marty, Frenchie, Jan or Patty?"

I was totally Patty, but too overweight to be a cheerleader or a "kilty" (the second team of chearleaders).

I was into theatre, audio club, radio club, and the student council. OMG, do schools still have "radio" clubs?

He's a good choice. Not the best. But a good choice. And he serves CBS's purposes to increase his visibility.

Carlos,

Not only am I old enough to have seen the show in 1972. I'm old enough to remember 1959 and greasers.

I didn't realize Stan Freberg passed away last year. Does anyone else feel it's time for the Freberg estate to get the rights back from whoever owns them for the two albums "Stan Freberg Presents the United States of America"?

It could be mounted at a small theatre with the same sort of small cast that was used on the albums.

I really want to see how "Mumble, mumble, mumble. Mutiny, mutiny, mutiny." is done.

I remember sitting in the orchestra for the original Gypsy and listening to the overture. I told my mother that the music from the show was going to be a big hit. She disagreed. My mother was wrong!!!

Best overture I ever heard was the opening for Fiorello! The fire siren joke may have been lost on younger audiences, but older people got it and loved it!

Also, at Broadway Con, one of the guys on the making a cast album panel told us that he had an overture written for the cast album of a show. (Name escapes me.) He just felt that the album needed a special opening that the first number didn't provide.

Oklahoma! (First musical album I had.)

Great dance numbers.

Fun, historical plot.

"Dark" subplot that could be made even darker.

Oh what a beautiful morning never gets old

Want to try "Kansas City" with rap lyrics. (Hello Lin Manuel.)

Not done recently on Broadway.

VERY old movie, but nothing sooner. (I think.)

Bring back Julian Hough and Aaron Tveit as Curley and Laurey

I wasn't expecting to enjoy the show as much as I did.

It broke new ground for what kind of performance it was. Not an on-stage musical. Not a movie with scenes filmed days, weeks, months apart from each other. Not a TV representation of the musical.

It was very clever with indoor/outdoor transitions. Walls that broke to go inside rooms. Split screens with actors in different sets.

Theatre_Nerd,

Everything you say about the original stage production is true. I'm glad to read some of the things they are putting back into this live TV production.

The original lyrics of Greased Lightning were brilliant double-entendres. But Kinickie should sing it! He's fixing up the car!!!

I so loved the Alma Mater parody.

It put the entire satiric valentine of the show into perspective.

The move and "adapted" stage productions never understood that.

And "Those Magic Changes" was the perfect comment on what 50s/60s rock and roll was all about.

I will record it and then skim through.

I am curious as to how much will be the actual original Broadway show and how much will be the bastardization that was created, and presented on stage, after the movie was released.

The producers of the later stage versions of Grease took a great parody of the 50s and 60s rock and roll, and warped it into a unfocused mess.

I would love to see the original.

Pootie2 said: "...Of the negative comments from actual attendees, the majority had to do with crowd control, which should be fixable. Panel content was not an issue; no one on this particular board was interested in mixing with the touristy youth crowd that was engaged by other entertainment content, otherwise. ..."

Dear Pootie2,

Let me make this very clear.

Kad,

OK, so if YOU don't know any "locals" who went to the event, that doesn't mean there were none.

My wife and I are locals who live 45 blocks away. But being over 65, we couldn't risk broken limbs trying to get their Saturday. So we went Sunday.

If Grandma was married we'd go live down south
