We were given great seats and had a wonderful time. We are big Ace fans. We also fell in love with Derek who plays Danny :o)
It's a must see! Lots of fun and your are right there with the actor's.
I took one of my good friends to see Grease for her birthday. We honestly had a blast. It was really worth it. If you loved the movie you are really going to love the show.
Show was light and entertaining --knew every song which makes it xtra enjoyable !!! very cute..
It was Ok .
This event was the first time I ordered tickets through Goldstar. We went to a Saturday 2PM show. I picked up the tickets at the box office an hour before the show started and was shocked to find out we had third row, dead center seats. I have purchased many tickets to Broadway shows through Ticketmaster or directly from the box office and have never been able to get seats as great as they were on Saturday. It was really a treat to sit so close to the stage. The show was pretty good. Not the best I have seen on Broadway but it was entertaining. They changed the arrangement of the plot a bit from the movie to make it a little different. In addition, there were some fun faces in the cast, such as Ace Young from American Idol and two finalists on NBC's "Grease: You're the One That I Want" show. We waited by the stage door at the end of the show and the cast was extremely friendly. They graciously signed fans' playbills and posed for pictures.
great songs, not a great cast, overall still a brilliant night

The Brooks Atkinson Theatre originally opened as the Mansfield on February 15,1926. On September 12, 1960 it was rechristened the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in tribute to the eminent drama critic of The New York Times. The Theatre is currently under the direction of Messrs. Nederlander.
Grease, by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, is the all-American musical, based on the sub-cultures of high school life in the 1950's. The show takes place at the hyperactive Rydell High School, where Danny Zuko fronts his gang - the raucous T-Birds - who romance their sassy female equivalents - the Pink Ladies. When "good girl" Sandy Dumbrowski arrives in town, the Pink Ladies take her under their collective wing.
In 1978, Grease became "the word" with a popular feature-film adaptation starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John as the lovelorn leads. A Broadway revival played from 1994-1998.
The new Broadway production will feature the smash Jacobs-Casey songs made famous by the original play including "Summer Nights," "Greased Lightning," and "We Go Together," as well as the additional films songs "Grease is the Word," "You're The One That I Want," "Hopelessly Devoted to You," and "Sandy" interpolated into the score.
Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall (The Pajama Game) directs and choreographs this new Broadway production.
