Grease Live is on this Sunday

Did anyone else lose sounds for a bit of the " Hand Jive".? Maybe it was my network. Ugh!

We lost sound.

Actually, the stage musical (which I believe this version is meant to be closer to) was the original and the movie came second. That being said, having seen the musical I do think the movie is much better, but it's not a case of messing with the original here.

In interviews they actually said they brought elements from both. So I don't know that it is supposed to be intentionally closer to either.

Vanessa is doing a great job. I'd be a crying non stop

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Oh my. That "race".

 

[Disneylover99]

Oh my. That "race".

I had to fast forward through it. It was just so cheesy.

They tried. Might have been an opportunity to be more stage show like for that part versus trying to fake it with cameras, lights, and fog.

I love the jokes with the food and artificial ingredients. Haha.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Ummmm...I don't know about the final number and good carts. Especially when curbs are involved. Lol.

 

[TippeeCanoe]

Oops!! LOL That one golf cart almost tipped.

I love that they are doing a curtain call.

I thought it wasn't a half bad effort! I enjoyed this production much better than The Sound of Music that was live. It was great seeing cameos of the original movie cast.

I see at the end they acknowledged Greg Hudgins' passing away.

I'm super impressed. I thought they did an amazing job and blew away all of the othe live shows we've seen so far. When you remember that this is completely live. Consider the multi camera work and costume changes. What they pulled off was absolutely phenomenal.

 

[Mizzoufan]

Loved the golf cart scenes

 

[Disneylover99]

Overall, I thought it was pretty good.

 

[TippeeCanoe]

If Vanessa's dad died this morning, his date of death is the 31st, not the 30th.
My mistake, he passed away yesterday.

I thought it was good. The cast seemed to be having a great time in the ending scenes.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Was it perfect? No.

But that was wayyyy better than NBC.

Fox just needs to work out some kinks--but I loved their idea on how to stage a live musical for television.

I liked all the behind the scenes bits. And I guess at the end, they had to do the golf carts to make it to the finale set.

But we overall enjoyed the peformance around here.

I still think the new hand jive looks lame and ridiculous.

 

[E&Cmom]

Loved that they had a whole carnival there. The cart thing was cute!

I thought it was good. The cast seemed to be having a great time in the ending scenes.

I agree, that was the best part of the show I thought.

And on those cameras, every single time they switched scenes during commerical breaks, all cameras were taken off line to move to their next assignment. Apparently that is not something ever done.

The whole thing, even with glitches was amazing.
