Any opinions of them? Did anyone see Jon in Grease!?

I saw them, along with Mariette Hartley and Tom Bosley. The cast was uniformly great. Kanakarades' abilities as a singer/dancer really surprised me.

Secada was horrible as the Emcee.

I saw Secada (my first Emcee) and I second that. He was dreadful. All wrong for the part, and creepy in all of the wrong ways.

I saw Secada sing "I Don't Care Much" on TV one time. Best nap I ever had. Lol, no...I was really bored through the performance though.

Jon was the only Emcee that I saw and I thought he was pretty good. Maybe it's because he's the only one I saw, but I didn't think there was anything wrong with him.

One of the extremely rare moments in my theatre-going that i was not only upset that standing ovations are automatic nowdays, but that booing has is no longer acceptable.

(In fact, I might have if i was in the balcony, but I was next to the stage.)

My only consolation was I had seen the show 3 times since it had opened and was only taking a friend who hadn't seen it.

But i did not stand nor clap. Truly miserable performance. Incompetent and miscast.

I saw Jon and Deborah Gibson. Neither one particulary stood out for me.

Every time I see Melina Karakaredes in anything, I'm stricken by her beauty. I'm happy to hear she was as Sally.
