Per ATC, David Merrick must be alive and well and living in David Ian's house.
The new Grease print advertisment apparently has the phrase "The One That I Want" repeated numerous times, attributed to the major papers. I guess the critics, in their infinite wisdom, never figured that the press team would be able to pull out a quote when they mentioned the title of the tv show, "Grease: You're The One That I Want" in their reviews.
::Rushes to the newsstand to look for this.::

Posted: 8/22/07 at 1:00pmHAHA, that's amazing. I am at Penn Station now. I'll be sure to look for a paper with an ad for Grease.

That's hilarious! The funniest quote ad I ever heard about was when the British sex farce Run For Your Wife was briefly on Broadway.
They had a Sunday quote ad with the top quote attributed to the New York Times. All it was was the title of the play with a exclamation point at the end.
RUN FOR YOUR WIFE!

Posted: 8/22/07 at 2:01pmHey all - page 14 of the Post has the new ad. It's almost as ridiculous as the show itself!

.....Is David Ian the new David Merrick?
Well as far as I know, at least Merrick ( odd looking as he was) was "all natural", with the exception of maybe a bad dye job, and not as manufactured looking as Mr. Ian

Posted: 8/22/07 at 2:29pmThat is HILARIOUS.

How many people are really going to fall for that ad?
I really expected Kathleen Marshall to put together something very entertaining based on her previous work on other shows (especially the choreography). Who'd have thought that she could ruin Grease?
I noticed that Austin was conspicuously absent from the opening (as was Derrick) and he must be thankful he's not associated with this mess.

Posted: 8/22/07 at 2:48pmWow- I so didn't even get that those were supposed to be pull quotes- it looks like fangirl created wallpaper, new for your Grease desktop! Or something. Wow.
#15re: Creative Pull Quotes in the new GREASE Ad
Posted: 8/22/07 at 2:49pmThat's pretty low. Makes me not want to see the show. (Not like I wanted to anyway.)
#16re: Creative Pull Quotes in the new GREASE Ad
Posted: 8/22/07 at 2:50pmIt does take serious balls to do something like that. Whatever, it's funny.
#17re: Creative Pull Quotes in the new GREASE Ad
Posted: 8/22/07 at 2:51pmThat's priceless. Could it sink any lower?

Actually, Barnes in the POST correctred them and said
"YOU'RE THE TWO THAT I WANT"
He should sue, they are ridiculous, all that ad does is point out they have very few quotes they can really use.

"How many people are really going to fall for that ad? "
A LOT.
#21re: Creative Pull Quotes in the new GREASE Ad
Posted: 8/22/07 at 6:25pmI doubt it. Even the quote "Sensational" from Time Magazine for Tarzan (or something like that "Outstanding" maybe?) didn't help it. It'll run for another eight months and then shutter, I hope so at least.

Oh, but don't forget stunt casting.
I have an odd feeling we'll be seeing some runner ups in the show before long.
#23re: Creative Pull Quotes in the new GREASE Ad
Posted: 8/22/07 at 6:30pmMaybe Clive Barnes will sue the pants off of David Ian and he'll run out of money to keep the show running.

Hahah oh that is brilliantly awful.
As was the show, but that is another story.
