Musicals are an important part of our culture. We listen to the music and watch when these broadway shows turn into movies that are popular for years to come. My favorite musical is one of the first i have ever seen which is Grease. This musical has been popular for decades and will be popular for many years to come.
Grease is a musical about two teenagers finding love, but having to deal with fitting in high school. Danny is the head of the gang called the T-birds, he has the reputation for being a bad boy that all the girls want. Sandy is the pretty naive girl who just moved here from Australia. Danny and Sandy meet in the summer and fall in love. when school starts again Danny is shocked to see that Sandy didnt go back to Australia. Sandy sadly discovers that Danny acts like a totally different person than he did at the beach. The rest of the movie is about how the two try to change theirselves to please the other so they can be together.
Another musical that is very similar to Grease is High School Muscial. This movie is also about two teenagers finding love. The basketball star Troy falls for the shy genius Gabriella when at a ski lodge on New Years Eve they are made to sing karoke together. These two musicals are similar because they both are about two schools changing their ways and start doing more than "sticking to the status qo" The main characters in both muscials bring together different types of people and learn to accept that everyone is different.
Grease is a well rounded musical and that is why i like it so much. It has romance, comedy, and some dramatic scenes to. Also the supporting actors are really good to i enjoy watching Frenchie, Rizo, Kinnicky, and the rest of the gang. The songs are great to i know the words to "summer nights".
In conclusion Grease is a great musical with an amazing cast and a good plot also. Grease will always be everybodys favorite. It was such an inspiration that they kind of re did the musical by producing High School Musical. This musical will always be one of my favorites for many years to come.
