The reviews bombing this show are basically all the same "whaaaaaah, where'd all my white people go?!" The songs are excellent, beautiful harmonies and great progression. A good vision and a proper representation of just how bad the 50's were for kids if you weren't one of the rich white kids in power.
Check it out for yourself, as for me, the original Grease is far down the list of musicals I enjoy watching. This is actually higher on the list for me because the characters aren't 1 dimensional caricatures of the product of their time. This has impact, it has relevance. Give it a shot and you'll be surprised.
