Grease Review!

I didn't watch the whole reality show. I watched towards the end. And obviously casting Danny & Sandy through reality television was a very smart idea, considering how many people have gone to see this show already because of Max & Laura.

Also, just as a little note, when I say 'we' I am referring to me, my mom, and my brother.

We had tickets for the Saturday August 11th, 2007 matinee Grease performance. I was so excited to be seeing this show! Understand that we don't typically purchase full price tickets in advance. We usually rush, lotto, or TKTS shows, along with other forms of discounts. We paid 121.50 per ticket, because it was the weekend. Anyway. I absolutley LOVED the show! It is one of my favorites, standing in the top 3 alongside Wicked and The Wedding Singer. We were nervous that the show wouldn't live up to the price we paid, but it exceded our expectations and we don't have a single regret!
Of course I assumed the music would be good, and so it was. The sets were fair, nothing to complain about, yet nothing to boast about. The choregraphy was great, the actors phenomonal, and the show as a whole was excellent. Max and Laura did a great job, and I was very pleased with America's choices (who were also my favorites in the end)!
You want me to sum up how good it was? It was, 'See it twice in one day' good!
Is that good enough? Given, I have seen Wicked 8 times, but (6/ times we did lotto. We also saw Little Shop of Horrors (Revival) twice in one day at half price a ticket. Anyway. So we were standing in line at the box office, because we had wanted to ask something. A lady walked in, and asked if anyone wanted to buy two tickets from her (2 for the price of 1) because two people who were supposed to be attending with her couldn't go at last minute, so she wanted to at least get some of their money back for them. We ended up spontanesley buying those (Yes, we understand the risks of scalpers and such, but we had extreme confidence in her), and bought another full price ticket for that evening. So we saw it again that evening. Again, wonderful show. I could just rant on and on about how much I loved it, but I'll spare all of you. I don't see how anyone can truely dis-like this show. Only because they are prejudice against the way Max and Laura were cast. Otherwise it is a fun, funny, and pleasing show.
Of course we stagedoored, and the crowd was not as horrible as I had imagined by the way others had made it sound. After the matinee (this was before we knew we were seeing the evening show too) the crowd was fine, not pushy, and *most* of the actors were generous with their time. Max and Laura got every single person waiting, and were friendly.
After the evening show, my brother wanted to stagedoor again, so we did. It was SO horrible! We went to the left side of the door as we had earlier (the left side as if you are coming out), but the line for the club next door was there and it was horrible! They have to come up with a better system, because they would not allow us on the curb, so everyone was pushing and shoving trying to fit between a car behind us and the curb, while still close to the barricade. That was horrible.

Ok, enough about Grease and my rambling. You will find that I tend to do that...

I think I've made my opinion clear. So now I will go hide behind my couch while everyone here pelts rocks at me.

Come out, come out where ever you arrreee. I won't pelt you, I promise. I thought the show was terrible, but I'm glad you enjoyed it - especially since you paid so much for the tickets.
Okay...go back behind the sofa now - just because I won't pelt you doesn't mean somebody else won't. Bring food and water and stay safe.

It's great to know that there are people out there who can like, even love a show not many other people even like. It keeps the country from turning into a bunch of robots.

Hold on to that, shiz_student94
