It was an extraordinary experience! The performers were excellent singers and dancers. My wife and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. We left the show so elated we couldn't stop singing along to the tunes for days. Please thank everyone involved in the show. Your hard work made so many people so happy.
Grease was very well done. All the performers were excellent. As much as the tickets cost, the San Bernardino Theater could use some updating. The furnishings are very worn.
My favorite character that reflected the one in the movie was Frenchie. She was just like her! The entire cast did a great job. We took our 9 year old great niece because she has been a big fan of Grease for a few years. She loved it and they loved her outfit!
Fabulous performance by the cast. The musical brought back so many good memories. The California Theater is still a gem in San Bernardino
Very, very good. The actors are so talented. I especially enjoyed Sandy.. She sounded very much like Olivia Newton John. Very enjoyable evening.
I was very disappointed. It appeared to be more like a high school play than an professional one. Some of the signature songs from 'Grease' were not even sung..for example when Sandy was singing 'Hopelessly Devoted To You" That one is a signature song for certain. Other songs that were sung, some were in the movie and some we had never heard of. I would go see it as a high school play but for the price of this I definitely would not recommend it. Sorry to say as Grease is one of my very favorites!
We loved how close it was related to the movie, even though a few scenes and songs had to be changed up a bit. We were happy that some of the songs like ' Summer lovin, Beauty School drop out, look at me I'm Sandra Dee,Those magic Changes and The worst things I could do' and more were included and done so well. We were slightly disappointed on a few of our faves that were left out or changed, like' You're the one that I want, Hopelessly Devoted, sandy" but we realize this is the way it goes with copyrights and music. We were confused on the whole dance contest scene with no Sandy, and how Cha Cha came out looking nothing like her sexy character, seemed randomly out of place... but overall we had a blast and could sit through it again and have just as much fun. Our daughter was thrilled to meet the cast after the show and have pics and aughtographs. 5 stars!
I have been enjoying the stage play of Grease for years. It has always been fun to see the different perceptions and sets, songs and actors....as each play/venue has twitted it a little differently....I enjoyed interacting with the young kids before the play all dressed in character of the grease troupe. They had such energy. I was a little concerned for their ages since the dialog and references and some physical dancing and movements were more adult than pg...but even our commercials are too adult these days for most of the viewers. The troupe was very talented....it was fun...what fantastic voices these young actors have - wow. Great play - great rendition. HOW ABOUT PUTTING INTO YOUR PRODUCTION....THE FANTASTIKS..;..NOW THAT IS ONE HECK OF A PLAY....I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT PERFORMED AGAIN. GREAT STORY LINE FOR ALL AGES...
I was in grade school when Grease was being workshopped and doing trial runs before opening on Broadway and the subsequent national tours. I was in High School when the film came out and saw it opening weekend, and several repeat viewings that summer! GREASE is a popular stage musical with schools and community Theatres and I have seen my fair share. You soon learn that there are songs in the stage version and songs in the movie version that don't appear in the other! If you want to see an authentic production of the stage production; then I recommend you see one directed by an original cast member of the stage production and Thousand Oaks, Cabrillo Music Theater did just that; they hired former STAGE AND MOVIE cast members with Barry Pearl directing and Kelly Ward choreographing! It was wonderful! We especially loved Frenchy, played by Tessa Grady, a young triple threat destined for big things! Kudos to the entire staff, cast and crew! BRAVO!
