Just thought I'd share this pic of Richard Gere as "Danny Zuko" in the Original London Production of GREASE, circa 1973.

*ahem*...well, that's interesting that they would even have clips of gere singing (you're) the one that i want. you see, that song was composed for the movie version in 1978. gere was in the 1973 london production.

ditto goes for sandy. another song composed for the movie.

DA: Bravo! I was thinking the same thing.

That being said, it's a great picture! I'd always heard about him doing the show, but I'd never seen an image from the production.

its summer nights and i think Sandy they keep showing, Ask anyone from the UK they have been loads of clips.

The woman playing sandy was also shocking(they couldn't dance that much in the clips i watched because of the stupid mic's

Umm Sandy likewise was written for the film... (to be fair it prob was Alone at the Drive-Inn which as a clip would look quite similar.

Wow I know cast members of Grease always look like they're ancient but that one girl behind him looks particularly... not high school age
