Posted: 8/23/04 at 3:35pmI seriously doubt that will happen, seeing as the last production ended only 6 years ago.

Posted: 8/23/04 at 3:51pmYep, Rath. If I close my eyes, I can still see Xena onstage dancing her heart out.

Posted: 8/23/04 at 4:01pmI think the Grease revival was the worst example of stunt casting.

Posted: 8/23/04 at 4:06pmAs I've stated before, Linda Blair worked her ass off with dancing and singing lessons and ended up to be quite a good Rizzo. Let's stop using her as an example of bad casting. There are plenty of others more relevant. Personally, I'd rather eat glass than ever hear Rosie O'Donnell sing again.

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

Posted: 8/23/04 at 4:18pmI could see Kerry Butler as Sandy. She is good at playing teenagers. I would love to see Matthew Morrison as Danny.

Posted: 8/23/04 at 4:18pmI was going to say something but then a soon as the words, Grease and Revival were put in the same sentence in my end I forget what it was. Oh well, there's nothing like a musical about the 50's that won't die to give you amnesia.

Posted: 8/23/04 at 4:23pmI wish I saw Hunter and Sutton Foster as Danny and Sandy.

Posted: 8/23/04 at 4:41pmEW that is really wrong. I would of liked to see Sutton play Sandy and Hunter play Danny but not together.

Posted: 8/23/04 at 4:41pmI know Sutton played Sandy, but on the Revival CD Hunter sings "Mooning" which is NOT Danny's song. Unless he was a replacement for the first Danny...

Posted: 8/23/04 at 4:41pmI would cry if they brought it back again.
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

Posted: 8/23/04 at 4:42pm"Mooning" is sung by Roger, which would make much more sense for Hunter.

Posted: 8/23/04 at 4:43pmHunter was Roger in the original cast of the revival. He was also Danny's understudy. Im not sure if he ever took over for the part of Danny.
#23re: 'Grease' revival
Posted: 8/23/04 at 4:45pmIs this the same production where Sutton played Sandy? Please say no...

Posted: 8/23/04 at 5:02pmSutton played Sandy the same time Hunter was understudying Danny. There was another understudy for Danny so luckily Sutton and Hunter never had to play opposite each other.
