This recording is much better than the movie version that everyone knows. The movie's soundtrack is good, i will admit that. But this recording sounds so much more energized for the new generation of music lovers! The cast is great and they DO NOT sound like "chippettes"! They sound like teenagers, and they should, they are supposed to be seniors in high school. This cd also has a great deal more music than the movie did. Rosie O'Donnel may not be able to sing, but she does know how to make people laugh at her jokes. She is perfectly cast as Rizzo. The supporting cast is impressive. Especially Billy Porter's(teen angel) gospel version of Beauty School Dropout. Enjoy this cd as i did! P.S.---i am proud to be the first person to review this cd with more than 2 sentences!

2.0 out of 5 stars The New Broadway Recording of Grease, July 2, 2006

This review is from: Grease - The New Broadway Cast Recording (1994 Revival) (Audio CD)

I find this music too commercialized. The real flavor of the original Grease is lost to the bubblegum sound of the songs. I've listened quite a few times and I just can't get into it. The sound just doesn't have the edge of the Original Grease. And Rosie O'Donnell needed more time in the vocal studio working on singing vowels and supporting her breath. Buy the original!

This review is from: Grease - The New Broadway Cast Recording (1994 Revival) (Audio CD)

Everyone loves Grease, myself included. It's practically an American tradition. However, it's also one of the most overdone musicals. This CD added so much excitement to the show, and reminded me of why I loved Grease in the first place. (Before I saw it and heard it 900 times) Rosie O'Donell doesn't have the best voice in the world, but it's certainly charming and not even slightly painful. Susan Wood has a fabulous voice as Sandy. Some standout songs are "Those Magic Changes", "Since I Don't Have You", and "Freddy My Love". Marty is played and sung by Megan Mulally who many know from Will and Grace. Get this CD: if you love Rosie O'Donell or Megan Mulally, if you want to know the real version of Grease, or if you want an upbeat fun to listen to Broadway CD. Don't get this CD: if you aren't a musical lover and just like Grease, or if you are expecting an amazingly profound story.
