" The most popular movie musical of all time (at the start of 1980, Variety lists it as the third highest grossing film ever) as well as Broadway's longest running musical, Grease slickly recaptures everyone's cherished memories of those endearing beach party and 50's rock 'n' roll doo-wap screen frolics. John Travolta as Danny Zuko, gang leader and class dreamboat at fictional Rydell High, and Olivia Newton-John, in her first starring screen role as Sandy Olsson, pretty cheerleader turned leather-jacketed temptress, head an exuberant cast of television favorites and screen veterans.
Travolta was an alumnus of one of the countless companies of the stage Grease, that opened initially on Broadway in early 1972 and ran into the next decade. Others in the film version who also played in Grease on stage: Jeff Conaway, familiar to TV audiences as would-be actor Bobby Wheeler in Taxi, played Travolta's screen role of Danny Zuka at one play point during the Broadway run, and Didi Conn, who was Danny Thomas' bubble-headed receptionist on his TV series, The Practice, recreates her stage role of Frenchy on screen.
Stockard Channing, the tough-talking Betty Rizzo and leader of Rydell High's fast-living Pink Ladies, is another emigre from the legitimate theater who more recently became star of her own television series - two of them in fact, with her own name in the titles. Turning up throughout Grease are such familiar faces as Frankie Avalon, kidding his long-established screen image as Teen Angel in an elaborate fantasy number; Eve Arden, in everybody's favorite "Our Miss Brooks" from TV and before that radio, as the school principal; Sid Caesar as the befuddled Coach Calhoun; Joan Blondell as Vi, the brassy malt-shop waitress; and Edd "Kookie" Byrnes, the M.C. of the school's nationally televised dance-off.
In addition to the original Grease score by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey are the new title song, written by Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees and sung by Frankie Valli, several golden rock oldies sung by Sha-Na-Na, and Olivia Newton-John performing her own hit recording of "Hopelessly Devoted to You."
