Grease Revival Will Be True to the Original.... — Page 2

Oh! I guess that could be. I thought maybe it was supposed to be specific to the indication that she's... dumb.

Olivia Newton-John was born in England and raised in Australia, therefore she ain't Australian. Also, Mel Gibson was born in New York City and raised in Australia -- therefore he ain't Australian either.

it all depends on where you are when you exit the womb!

The joke in the original production of GREASE is that the show took place in a South Side suburb of Chicago famous for its Polish (Dumbrowski) and Italian (Zuko) rivalry. Actually most of the characters in the Pink Ladies/Burger Palace boys have either an Italian, Polish or Lithuanian surname (The Lituanians were rivals to both the Polish and Italians).

It was just an in joke for Jacobs and Warren who wrote the show based on their friends and experiences as youth in Chicago.

So maybe thats what she means by specific. I'm sure Jacobs probably told them the history of the characters.

It's "Hopelessly," you're right. Either it was the writer's error or, as I said before, Laura's just....dumb-rowski.

Either way, I still think it's ridiculously funny that the 3 most well known (and arguably best) songs in the show - the 3 they're adding - weren't penned by Jacobs and Casey.

Ah yes, MB, you're right (re: who said what).

I saw a touring production in the mid nineties with Sally Struthers (and I think Deborah Gibson and Micky Dolenz?) and I don't remember many curse words. I just remember Teen Angel- who was black and had like a huge purple pomp. It was awesome.

I saw it with a jr. high group and Kenickie said our schools name in the show. Of course we all went nuts. It was grosss when you think about it. "I was cruising for chicks at ____ jr. high." ew.
