I like this trend in live TV performances and looks forward to La Traviata or Metallica or the Stones one day.

"Grease Live was brilliantly done!"
Yes, it was.
Far better than the movie as the audience contributed greatly to the energy of the performance.
It was exciting to watch.

I've seen one. Intermission and all. Super HD in video and sound.
And includes the required subtitles.

Was it based on the original play, or the movie?

I thought that Grease Live! was an amazing production; there were a few weak spots with the talent, and a couple of audio bobbles, but all in all an excellent production. Hey, it was live, ya know.
The finale was outstanding. Might have been a bit of a different ending if the 2nd shuttle bus had bobbled more than it did.
You know, not everyone can be a perfect dancer, perfect actress, and perfect dancer simultaneously at the same time.
4.5/5.

Based more on the play, but with elements from the 1978 movie as well.
At least one original song.

Man.I missed it-—didn’t even know it was on.
Live entertainment on TV——what a novel idea. :-)

I’m sure NBC will replay it. It was extravagant and so much fun!

My family enjoyed it as well. The production was nearly perfect considering all the moving parts. Supposedly the largest wireless mic footprint ever attempted on tv.

I don’t think Fox would appreciate NBC rebroadcasting it.
To: sarasota
To be help anyone seeking it out for replay, it was a Fox production :)

Believe me, I HATE TELEVISION. But that was the most brilliantly done 'made for TV' show I HAVE EVER SEEN. The talent, camera work, sets, direction all worked like a well-oiled machine. Incredibly done. Engaging to the end.
And to think that dark haired 'pink lady's father died right before the start of the show. Hats off to her.
To: Mariner
I missed this, because I had to work, but I will tell you, I’ve played just about every musical there is, and live performance is a lot of fun, even if one is in the ‘pit’.

You noticed the shuttle bus going over the curb too. LOL. That could’ve been disastrous.
To: Mariner
I meant to watch it, but got busy with the grandbaby last night.
Will it be rerun soon?
