Part of Music City Mondays
Return to rockin’ Rydell high for a whole new term! It’s 1961, two years after the original GREASE gang graduated, and there’s a new crop of seniors — and new members of the coolest cliques on campus, the Pink Ladies and T–Birds. Michael Carrington (Maxwell Caulfield) is the new kid in school — but he’s been branded a brainiac. Can he fix up an old motorcycle, don a leather jacket, avoid a rumble with the leader of the T–Birds (Adrian Zmed), and win the heart of Pink Lady Stephanie Zinone (Michelle Pfeiffer)? He’s surely going to try!
“Energized and controlled by a dancer's vision…. [A] sparkling showcase for several fresh musical comedy performers — and a director eager to put a fresh, attractive imprint on movie musicals.” —Gary Arnold, Washington Post
“...This film has a decided edge on its predecessor in the staging and cutting of the musical sequences. Choreographer and director Patricia Birch has come up with some unusual settings (a bowling alley, a bomb shelter) for some of the scenes, and employs some sharp montage to give most of the songs and dances a fair amount of punch.” —Variety
