I'm also assuming that by full costumes BWW means not full costumes.

A couple of months ago there was a brief preview thing of Grease on entertainment tonight and they were clearly rehearsing the Sandra Dee reprise.
These media outlets are so ready to hit the "send" button in order to be the first to break news with a total disregard of the facts. Does anyone proofread anything anymore? It's lazy, sloppy and in some instances totally irresponsible and in other cases downright laughable.

Okay, but maybe dial it back a bit? It's an online program for a tv show.
Playbill says that fake playbill was official?? looked pretty fan-made to me.

That's what the one for The Wiz looked like.

That doesn't mean it doesn't get proofread before it gets pushed to go live.

Maybe I should have clarified so I'll take the opportunity to do so now. My comment was not only in reference to this online program for a tv show but also articles and interviews that are published via social media outlets.
Thank you @ LizzieCurry
Granted, you have to do some prioritizing when you have a lot of content to push live, but this isn't something you push live and then read later. You can get away with that with some content, in some contexts, and on some sites, but not a digital program for the national broadcast of a popular musical on the website for an extremely old and generally well-respected theatrical publishing company.

I'm too used to BWW articles, I guess!
They're overall sloppy. Like I said with Frenchie/Frenchy. It's just? Did you have multiple people do it at once? If you're gonna mess up spelling, at least be consistent with the messed up spelling.

I feel you. BWW has lowered all of our expectations.

I see your Acadmey and raise you Peddle Pushers!
In honor of GREASE LIVE and all things GREASE I started a tumblr site sharing my GREASE memorabilia. Take a visit here and let me know what you all think! Thanks!
How did Fox get Playbill to make one for this production? They never did this for any of the NBC musicals did they?

By the way Theater_Nerd, there have been many stills of Julianne sitting on the side of the race in her Sandra Dee costume, reminiscent of the Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee (Reprise) scene in the movie. So I'm 90% sure Playbill was just sloppy and didn't read the deluxe album track list.

So Freddy My Love is now sung by Diana Ross and Army WACs from Company C?!?!?!
Earlier on it was revealed to start out in the bedroom and turn into a "one woman USO" number as a fantasy sequence.

Julie talked on EW Radio and said they will not be smoking!
Also, Rizzo will not be pregnant. Instead she will have an F in Home Economics and is going to be worried she won't graduate with her friends.
Vanessa has stated in an interview that the pregnancy scare is still in there.
I'm sure someone has posted about this already but it is a very long thread...
Does anyone know when Grease will be airing on mountain time and pacific time?
