Reviews
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:
"Feels like a musical put on by a high school — and I don’t mean a high school of performing arts."

NEWSDAY REVIEW:
"How anything can be so perky and yet so bland is yet another mystery for the ages. It appears that the rest of the company was cast to keep the youngsters from looking bad in comparison."

VARIETY REVIEW:
"The most dismal thing about this Grease is that aside from the two discoveries plucked from a mediocre TV talent pool and thrust into this sorry walk-through, no-one appears to be trying very hard. Like the drag-queeny wig slapped on Sandy when she finally conforms to the cool-kid ethos by unleashing the bad-girl within to win Danny, it all seems somewhat counterfeit."

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS REVIEW:
"Without magnetic performances, interest wanes in whether Danny and Sandy will couple up. Chills don't start multiplying, antsiness does."
Full review not available.
THE NEW YORK POST REVIEW:
"All told, I've seen worse - but then, I've been attending the theater for more than 65 years, so "worse" is a very well-thumbed comparative."

JOURNAL NEWS REVIEW:
"Grease is the word on Broadway, again. And it's better than ever. The second major revival of this sweet, nostalgic show about high school life in 1959 opened last night at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. Somehow it feels like a freshly minted hit: one part show, and two parts party where everybody's invited."

HOLLYWOOD REPORTER REVIEW:
"Tackily produced and utterly lacking the sort of fun comic spark that the original production and certainly the movie possessed (though not the most recent Broadway revival in 1994), this is a Grease that only will be appreciated by young TV viewers who don't know any better."
