Geez, there has been so many GREASE tours since the revival back in 1995. I saw the tour that was loaded with lots of unknowns then/stars now (and some 'has beens'...).

Danny Zuko: Adrian Zmed
Miss Lynch: Sally Struthers
Vince Vontaine: Don Most (Ralph Malph from HAPPY DAYS)
Sandy Dumbrowski: Sutton Foster
Jan: Marissa Jaret Winokur

I knew Sutton was in Grease a while back, but she was in it with Marissa?

The way the ad is makes it seem like Frankie will be playing Danny. "Starring Frankie Avalon!" The Beauty School Dropout guy really isn't a major part.

I saw the tour this time last year, and Frankie was the Teen Angel aka Beauty School Dropout guy. He was only on stage for about 5 minutes, but he did a great job. He did 2 or 3 songs after the curtain call as well which was fun. It was obvious that many of the middle aged ladies in the audience enjoyed reliving their teen years with Frankie.

I thought the production itself was pretty poor. Maybe they've gotten it together since I saw it.
