Tveit also happened to be awfully handsome as well, and that never hurts. Acting-wise, he made the character his own, while maintaining that goofy, “I think I’m being cool” sort of charm that Travolta perfected. Īs a Broadway native, Tveit’s voice was impeccable and his dancing was extraordinary. Aaron Tveit took a role that was already legendary and added a little bit more “legend” to it. John Travolta, in that role, has imprinted on millions of young girl’s thoughts…and, admit it men, you all wanted to embody that Zuko persona. The male lead of Danny Zuko may have been the most nervewracking for me to watch. Julianne Hough, taking on the role of Sandy, sung her heart out with the ballad “Hopelessly Devoted to You.” I assume that Olivia is somewhere in Australia tipping her hat to this unbelievable triple threat. The vocals in this version exceeded my very high expectations. If you want to read a scathing review of these cast members, I suggest you go somewhere else, because I am in love with this performance. However, the nerves quickly fizzled out and the excitement rose as the production went on. I still remember putting on a leather jacket that didn’t fit me, going into my laundry room, pretending to smoke a cigarette (in the form of a pen), and reciting that infamous line, “Tell me about it, stud.” (By the way, my 6-year-old self says you nailed it, Julianne!)Īs a devout and true fan of the original 1978 film (and a cheerleader in my high school’s production of the show - I know, dream come true!), I was beyond excited, albeit slightly nervous about turning on my recording of Grease: Live! last night. The music was “electrifying.” John Travolta was, let’s face it, even my 6-year-old self’s dream man. But it still stole my attention as I sat unhealthily close to the screen. I didn’t understand any of the jokes, as I could barely even read yet alone understand comedy at that point in my life. From that moment on, Grease had a special place in my heart. So instead, she found her favorite movie and played it for me. She knew I wouldn’t want to go outside and perform any athletic activity - I just wasn’t that type of kid. She was simply trying to carefully and neatly put her books into the new bookcase. When I was about six years old - during the summer when my family and I moved into our new house - my mother had had enough of my vigorously expressed boredom.
