GREASE RE-IMAGINED

it took me a couple of scenes, but once I allowed myself to separate the show from the film, and became immersed in this recreation of a classic, I was hooked. The cast, songs, and choreography were all fantastic. More than anything, I had a lot of fun! This is exactly what I would have asked for in a Grease re-imagined.

SURPRISINGLY GREAT

Knowing my love for theatre, my Daughter bought us tickets to see this production, I think primarily to see one of her favorite actresses, Janel Parrish, perform live and in the flesh. My first inclination was- oh great, yet another American starlet attempting a role likely better suited for seasoned local theatre actor. A admittedly sensitive topic to us Canadian theatre 'snobs'. However after reluctantly attending the show last Friday night, mostly to spend time with our Daughter, my wife and I were completely taken away by how strong Ms. Parrish was in delivering the role of Sandy, and overall how enjoyable the entire production was. Grease is a difficult script to deliver, as in my opinion it is weak to deliver real substance and storyline, yet most of the performances in the show, most definitely including those delivered by the American actress, cleverly overcame those challenges and gave us in the audience a thoroughly enjoyable experience. In short, highly recommended.

FABULOUS HIGH ENERGY SHOW

This version of Grease is out of the park.! The show is tight, fast moving and well crafted. A must see.

POORLY CAST, MISPLACED EVERYTHING, INTENSE DISCONNECTED SHOW

Great sets. One song (Mooning) was sung well, but others sounded off key, poorly timed starts and stops, last notes not held, Oh Sandy was screamed at us, We Go Together was so misplaced in the first half. Costumes were nice, but some seemed to be worn at the wrong times (e.g., hand jive dance outfits were all the same flowery mess), female lead had shiny stuff and a third Shiva eye on her forehead which was distracting all through the show, male lead had no charisma, Frenchy was a tomboy with grey Shirley Temple bouncy curls and bland make up, and, her dark hair showed under her silver wig. Rizzo actress just could not sing or act. Why have only 3 chorus teen angels come out in the last minute of Teen Angel? Teen Angel was more of a comedy act than anything else. Sorry, you just made a mess of Grease for me and my friends for $130.00 each! None of us was drawn into the show at all, and frankly, I was tempted to walk out except that it was a girls' night out after a decade.
