Posted: 7/7/08 at 2:12pmi enjoy the movie, but in a campy way. if it were on stage, i would want it to be very "xanadu" tongue in cheek, campy, off-broadway style.

Having only seen portions of the film since the 80's, I finally watched it in full about a year ago.
I promptly bought the film on DVD a few hours later and have watched it a few times since.
That should speak for itself.

Posted: 7/7/08 at 2:18pmDid it do well back in the 80's? It looks like it would be fun to do in a campy style.

Following the wave of XANADU, GREASE 2 was a colossal flop theatricially but found its audience (and enormous popularity) once it started airing on cable TV and its VHS incarnation.

I was at a midnight screening for people working in Broadway theatres. I think Allen Carr sponsored this screening as a piece of goodwill toward the Broadway community.
What is the word for goodwill-backfire? Sewer gas? Felching?
As a whole, that crowd HATED this movie. Hostile is a kind word for the reaction during and after the film.

Posted: 7/7/08 at 3:44pmI adore Grease 2 I think if they reworked this it could work on broadway. some of the songs in the second one are alot more catchy than the songs in the first one.

"Let's do it for our country...the red white and the blue."
I love this movie!

Posted: 7/7/08 at 5:02pmI love the REPRODUCTION song.

Posted: 7/7/08 at 5:38pmAbout five years ago, The Yale Cabaret in New Haven did this as a stage musical. Very minimal sets and costumes, but very clever. They did all of the songs and most of the book from the film. I wish the cast were better--still, it was fun to watch this bit of camp live on stage!

"I don't think I even know what a pistol is!"
"I got your pistol right here!"
Ah. To have a cast singing Reproduction on an Off-Bway stage.

Let's Do it for Our Country.. oh man... that scene is hilarious.. i love how the girl's singing voice sucks... and i think cracks... but yeah, it fits somehow...
oh randomly... did anyon catch that simpsons episode where they are in branson missouri or somthing and they see this country western revue and one of the lyrics go "we're the stars you thought were dead, like bonnie franklin and adrian zmed"... classic line right there!

Posted: 7/7/08 at 8:22pmI've loved this movie since I was in elementary school!!!! My friends and I went bowling the other night and definitely sang "Score Tonight" the whole time! As much as I would love to see this on stage, I don't think it belongs on Broadway. Would LOVE to see a fun, campy, Xanadu-esque Off-Broadway production!

Maxwell Caulfield in leather...nuff said.
Had no idea that (or even if) the movie found an audience on TV and tape, but it's still considered a dud of Xanadu proportions, decent cast and a few decent numbers aside.

Maxwell Caulfield is so incredibly hot in this film. Almost all english guys are.
I can't believe that michelle pfeiffer is so embarrassed by this film. I think it was great. and it was her first movie. and she regrets making it. sad.

Michelle started talking about the movie in a good way, spoke about it on Ellen.
One of my favorite movies ever, saw it at least twice a week during it's cinema run, sometimes twice a day.
If Xanadua can work on stage, this as long as it has it's tongue planted firmly in cheek, should work as well.
Cheno as Stephanie.

Songsstress, see in some strange way, i could see it working.
Cheno = Leather = Ladder = Dressed a Christmas Tree = Swimwear = A Big Happy Gay New Musical.
