I was kidding, babygirl.

"There are worse things I could do... Than to get a D - or two!"

ETA: that actually almost makes it racier.

Love these photos... this one especially... it made me smile and go "awwwww..."

I love that Didi Conn is the waitress! Very cool. She is a lovely person too.

... most of the production stills look great, but there are a few hairstyles that seem a bit too modern, and what's up with that cheerleader skirt from the 1980s on Sandy? Few if any cheerleaders were wearing them that short back in the late fifties. The hems were lower-thigh at the highest and usually just above or even below the knee. That shot of Sandy looked wrong for the period.

I'm sure some will say that! "They changed the character and made her American!"

That reminds me of when I saw the Adam/Anthony Rent tour and some of the younger audience members were confused that Seasons of Love wasn't the first song.

(Not wrong; just shows experience and knowledge!)

Here's a clip of the DNCE song for the show! I think it's a fun twist on the song to fit into the production:

In the latest promo you get to hear the new rendition of "You're the One That I Want" and a bit of "Greased Lightning." They sound absolutely fantastic! I love the new arrangements for "You're the One That I Want" and Aaron and Julianne sound terrific.

I saw the original '72 stage version a couple of times and of course the movie. I always assumed that the Zuko character in the film version was given "Greased Lightnin'" because Travolta was such a hot property back then. But I saw a promo for the live version that indicates Kenickie has again lost that number to Zuko. I guess I've been out of the loop---have the revivals since the movie given that song permanently to Zuko? If so, that's a shame. It helped give Kenickie some background.

They are using as the base the 1978 film adaptation (including the songs added/written for it: "Hoplessly Devoted to You", "You're the One that I Want", etc) but also incorporating elements from the Broadway production such as songs ("Freddy, My Love", etc) as well. It'll be a mish-mosh of both.

But mostly the movie.
