If this is a a prequel, How did the diverse school suddenly became all white after 4 years.

Looks interesting. The allure of a classic story recreated for a modern audience is just irresistible. The ageless charm of 'Grease' has been masterfully restaged time and again, and its vibrant musical numbers and sumptuous costumes continue to enchant audiences. As a fan of musical theater, I am looking forward to indulging in this nostalgic treat.

The Original movie is very problematic and have values that didn't age well. I wonder if this new prequel will try to fix that.

 

[Mr.Bridges]

It doesn't feel like real 1950s. Those Jocks have a more modern vibe, and the Pink Ladies would never admit a tomboy to their team. Despite its attempt to depict Rydell High students breaking free from stereotypes, the musical comes out as a woke version of High School Musical.

It's nice to see a new version of the famous musical "Grease" being created for a new generation of fans. It's always sad when a cherished character or artist is unable to see a new project come to fruition, but Olivia Newton-legacy John's lives on through her music and films. I'm disappointed she won't be able to make a cameo appearance on this episode. One of the characters is named Olivia, and she is clearly a tribute to her.

It's lovely to see the writers and producers of this new series working to make "Grease's" world more inclusive. The original film was a product of its period, and this new series allows for a re-examination and expansion of the story's ideas.

I'm really looking forward to this prequel! The thought of delving into the Pink Ladies' origin story is intriguing, and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us. I'll undoubtedly be watching on April 6th.

This appears to be dreadful crap, and I'm not sure why anyone would want to give this prequel a chance. There's no need to try to give a new perspective to an already wonderful musical. Who knows what a shambles they'll make of it. I, for one, am unwilling to take the risk of seeing the story continue in an unfavorable way.

I know some people are skeptical about this prequel, but like, c'mon let's give it a shot. Who knows what the show has in store for us, you know? We won't know if it's fire or not until we actually watch it. I mean, we could end up being pleasantly surprised and loving it. So, let's not be too quick to judge and just give it a chance. Ya feel me

 

[Ornatia]

Faboulosity! I am gagging to see this prequel! The thought of delving into the beginnings of the fabulous Pink Ladies has me quivering with anticipation. I simply cannot contain my excitement, darling. I have a feelin they have some sickening surprises in store for us, and I wouldn't miss it for the world. Mark your calendars, because on April 6th, we'll be tuning in and serving looks. The Pink Ladies are back and better than ever, and I am living for it!

"Listen, sweets, I don't care if the characters are green with purple polka dots, as long as they're playing 30-something year olds pretending to be teenagers, it's still Grease, baby! It's a time-honored tradition, honey. 35 year olds playing teens in productions of Grease is like wearing a leather jacket and singing "Summer Nights" while riding a motorbike - it just has to be done. And you know what they say, the older the berry, the sweeter the juice. I mean, have you seen Lucy Lawless after Xena the Warrior Princess? Girl, the first thing she did was star in a stage production of Grease. I mean, who wouldn't want to relive their teenage years as a 30-something, right? It's a hoot and a half, I tell ya!"

The diversity doesnt make sense because there is a racial segregation in the 1950s.

 

[Maw_Marcello]

I don't think this show is meant to be historically accurate, This is a just whimsical fantasy version of the 1950s. We have a Lesbian character on this show and homosexuality was Illegal during those times., This meant to entertain and also give opportunities to actors of all backgrounds and not a historically lesson for 1950s.

 

[ArtSciella]

if they want a diverse cast, then they should have made it sequel in the 1970s, There are still greasers during those times.

 

[Koneko Iru]

So in 5 years a diverse school will become all white....

 

[Jaspreet]

I am not looking forward to this one because I don't like the idea of Prequels so I may skip it.

 

[Kravn]

This is too woke for me to watch, So no I wont go near it.

 

[Reabeldoz]

Is John Travolta going to make an appearance? They can CGI him to make him look young or play the dad of his Grease character.

 

[Jaspreet]

This is too woke for me to watch, So no I wont go near it.

I am also not interested in it but I still have a look once I read some very good reviews about it.
