Though this whole GREASE/reality show crap irks me to death -- I do have to admit that this does looking fetching. It's GREASE for chrissakes! Not much is really required AND this does wet my appetite to see it now.

I just want to see more Prod. Photos so I can really decide whether I would want to see this show in the future.

Ah, the Actors Fund Home of Engelwood, NJ Presents GREASE.
The only appealing photo in the bunch is the one of Robyn Hurder.

Posted: 8/6/07 at 12:16pmNot really any more "blah" than, say Hairspray. A lot of their stuff looks a lot like those Grease pictures. (Not dissing either...it's a style.)

Posted: 8/6/07 at 12:18pmWith all due respect to Jenny Powers, between the wig and the way they have her dressed, she looks like she could be Kenickie's hot Grandma.

Posted: 8/6/07 at 12:24pmI don't really like the sets at all.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Not liking Jenny's look. That wig is... weird.
Robyn looks great!

Even with that awful wig though, Jenny was the best actor in the show, in my opinion.
...and yes, the set design was awful

Posted: 8/6/07 at 12:43pmI'm not liking the sets or Jenny's look- she DOES look like she could be Kenickie's hot grandma.

Posted: 8/6/07 at 12:51pmI love how it is SO clear from these photos that Derek McLane did the sets and Martin Pakledinaz did the costumes (the same designers who worked on the Pajama Game with Kathleen). Many of the characters, especially Laura and Robyn Hurder, look like they were literally plucked up from the Pajama Game revival and dropped off at the Brooks Atkinson stage. The wigs especially look like the exact ones used in the Pajama Game, and the sets are constructed in the exact same style (though not nearly as innovative or impressive here).

Posted: 8/6/07 at 12:54pmJenny's wig is really odd. I was expecting more with the set.

Seems they are following the Rizzo wig/hairdo used for the 1994 GREASE! Revival:

They went on and on about how much they were spending on this production during Grease: YTOTIW, but it just has a cheap look to it. I agree that the wig is kinda out there. Also, the PINK Pink Ladies jackets are so much more appealing (to me at least) than black ones. What is up with that?
However, I bet the energetic cast will make up for anything lacking in the design department.
