Trivia
The character of tomboy Cynthia was inspired by Anybodys from "West Side Story." In the 1960 Broadway production, Anybodys was portrayed by Patricia Birch, who went on to choreograph "Grease" from stage to screen, as well as both choreograph and direct "Grease 2."

Goofs
The U.S. flag in Miss McGee's office is clearly a 50-star flag with its nine rows of alternating six or five stars each, which came into use on July 4, 1960. The 48-star U.S. at the time (and since 1912) had 6 even rows of 8 stars.

Do not get discouraged by the bad reviews. This deserves to be watched.

A must-see show if you love musical theatre.

Memorable moments, joyful references to the original musical and the movies. You find yourself pointing to the screen and gasping (if you are a musicals' nerd, of course) Great original songs and a lovely cast performing them. Not a jukebox musical like Glee but an original musical almost 10 hours long.

If this get packaged in a West End or Broadway show, it would be an immediate long-running hit.

Do not approach this thinking that the (old) movie Grease is the only (and perfect) way to imagine the life at Rydell High... There are other ways, this is a great one.

Always remember Grease was a theatre show before being a movie and this new Grease is more theatrical and less two-actors-centric like the original one.

I dare to say, in 2023 this show is more enjoyable than the "original" one.
