Trivia

  • Carrie Fisher was considered for the role of Sandy. Director Randal Kleiser went to the Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) mixing stage to visit his college roommate, George Lucas, and to see her in one of the battle scenes. Kleiser couldn't tell from the scene whether Fisher was right for the part, so he kept looking.

No revival, however joyously promoted, can conceal the fact that this is just an average musical, pleasant and upbeat and plastic.

there are times when Grease really kicks in. I'm fond of Channing singing Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee, rotten with virginity and then telling an imaginary Troy Donahue, I know what you wanna do. And most of the big musical numbers work, especially the showstopper: the sunlit Danny-Sandy duet to Summer Dreams. Greasy kid stuff it all may be, but just like rock 'n' roll, it'll probably never die. [27 Mar 1998, p.A]
