This is the original score and has never been updated. While the piano score is identical to the current score from Samuel French, the vocals are different. I have now directed the show twice, and this score is perfect for preparing choreography and accompanying rehearsals, but it CAN NOT be used to teach the score -- the Samuel French rental music now comes with the correct vocal accompaniment (example, Alone at the Drive-In Movie now has extensive backup parts for the Burger Palace Boys -- those are not included in the original score).

The score from Samuel French was a much photocopied manuscript reduced to 8X11 from the original size. It was unreadable. There were many places where the staff lines did not appear. This published score was a lifesaver for me as an accompanist. I understand some of the vocal parts are different from the score, but the instrumental was the same.

It would be fine, except that there are many discrepancies between this score and what is in the chorus book.

This score is a must for those who are performing "Grease." Although it differs slightly in places from the vocals in the hard to read hand written score provided by French's Musical Library, the accompaniments are identical. Measure numbers are exactly the same as the French's edition. Every music director of "Grease" should buy this edition and make the minor adjustments necessary to agree with the French's edition.
