    but the girl in @05:04 i think the producer (or whoever responsible) made a mistake, he gave the girl this song without concerning about her vocal range, he should've lowered the key so she can not stress her vocals and more lives the song rather than making finishing the song and hit the high notes a mission that she should accomplished!

    this is just my first impression it seems casting was chosen on talent rather then looks of the traditional blonde Sandy & jet black hair Danny Zuko, both of whom sing wonderfully and are great BUT why the heck is there an actor lookin like traditional Danny right next to him and a classic sandy-blonde Sandy over her shoulder!?!
    it’s about as odd a directing choice as it is to have the girls ensemble join the Grease Lighting dance.

    • @DudaEfroin
      @DudaEfroin 2 роки тому +30

      This cast was chosen on talent, and lot more than that. Gone are the days when actors were chosen by "looks". Everyone is exactly where they should be. This is not the movie, this is the musical. There is no such thing as "Traditional Danny" or "Classic Sandy", because they are not Olivia Newton John or John Travolta. These are Olivia Moore and Dan Patridge. And the story doesn't change because of their hair color. It's still Grease and it's still amazing. They are just other actors that can portray their characters brilliantly.
      And the woman over Sandy's shoulder is her understudy, Ellie Kingdon, who I bet is incredibly amazing as Sandy too and not because of her hair colour. 😉

    "Did she put up a fight?" has to go. Seriously? Do I even have to say it? Are you kidding me? It's disgusting. I don't care if a jerk in the show is saying it. It's being said to make the audience laugh and it is NOT funny. We know better now.
    Anyway, I grew up with this. I was 13 when the movie with John Travolta and Olivia Newton John came out, perfect age. I played the record (yes, the vinyl record) over and over and over. So I feel qualified to make an observation: I feel like we're going backwards with musicals. The movie was actually more "real" than this is. They're playing "characters" which is what I used to hate about musicals when I was young: it wasn't real acting to me, it wasn't people having real feelings, it was people SHOWING and INDICATING their feelings instead of feeling them. Things changed with musicals like In the Heights and even Wicked, a show about witches and munchkins, but the actors are REALLY feeling those emotions which makes has made it such a long running hit.
