Grease Tour

Posted: 1/29/09 at 12:33pm

Saw the show in Cincinnati, OH and loved it! Taylor Hicks, yet in a small role, was very good! Before the show was very entertaining with the Vince Fontain character interacting with the audience! This was one of the best shows I have ever seen.

GREASE is one of the best shows you've ever seen?

What are the others? LESTAT, FOOTLOOSE, and GLORY DAYS???

Taylor got GREAT reviews here in Chicago also- by which I mean he got great reviews in GREASE while playing in the CITY of Chicago, not that he was in the musical Chicago.

Although, he would be great in Chicago! Maybe he could do the European tour and get great reviews in Greece. Then, he'd have gotten raves in Chicago for Grease and raves in Greece for Chicago.

I saw the show on Broadway and it was pretty awful. Besides the cast, what's so different about the tour version?

Nothing at all

that's why I'm so perplexed...

If Ace Young is involved in the tour I hope it comes to my city!

Ace is not on the tour.

I've heard they've added some of the original raunch back into the tour

One thing I will give to this revival, both on Broadway and on tour, is that while they have a few clunkers in the cast, they find a few real gems as well!

I just had the unfortunate experience of seeing this rip-off in Chicago. It was simply awful.

How was Emily Padgett? She was an excellent Margot (probably the best) in Legally Blonde.

I'm sorry TheCharleston, but I think your comment was uncalled for. You can say what you want because you are entitled to your opinion, but I *personally* think that was uncalled for.

For all you know, that person may hate a show you liked. There was no need to call them out on it. It wasn't the best production in the world, but there has been worst.

i have to admit....for a change, I actually chuckled at Charleston's post.

But yes, the poster is allowed his opinion....but Grease is far from one of the best shows to be in existence. I am always perplexed by the fondness of it.

I was a little down today and decided to see the tour at Golden Gate Theater and I am glad that I came!

They were doing the BCEFA fundraising and they were selling signed windowcards along with other stuff.

In ten years, I predict there will be a remake of Grease based from the revival.
