Kathleen Marshall Queen of Plagarism

Today's Chicago Sun Times reports that Kathleen Marshall the champion for Director & Choreographer rights has ripped off staging from the original for the new Grease revival.

"When she isn't outright stealing bits from the film, director Kathleen Marshall has doled out choreography ("Born to Hand Jive" in particular) that manages at least to look energetic even as scene after scene (and song after song) falls flat."

I guess it's okay to steal when you are VP of a union!

Someone's gotta do it.

So is she stealing bits from the film or ripping off staging from the original? The review never mentions the original staging.

That revival needed some Patina Miller.
