Product Description
From Amazon.com
The 1978 film has become such a fixture in Grease lore that any subsequent recording of Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey's '50s tuner needs clear disclaimers, this 1994 Broadway revival cast included. What it doesn't have: "Grease," "Hopelessly Devoted to You," "Sandy," "You're the One That I Want," and John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. What it does have: "Those Magic Changes" winningly delivered by former Star Search champion Sam Harris; "Alone at the Drive-in Movie" in vocal, not instrumental form; striking choral arrangements (including the a cappella opener); Broadway's most famous fan, Rosie O'Donnell, appearing as Rizzo; and an energetic and suitably young cast led by Ricky Paull Goldin (Danny) and Susan Wood (Sandy). All in all, it's an enjoyable conception of the show as realized by Tommy Tune. Note that when Brooke Shields replaced O'Donnell in 1995, a new recording was issued, exactly the same as this one except with new tracks by Shields replacing O'Donnell's. --David Horiuchi

Disastrous,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grease - Broadway Cast Recording (Audio CD)
I saw the revival on Broadway and a friend later gave me the cast recording. Both were tremendous disappointments--were I the most avid hater of Grease, I could not have done the show or its music a greater disservice.First of all, let's start with the fact that this is supposed to be music from the 50s, yet barely any of it sounds like it is. Moreover, the arrangements are bland and unimagitive, as if done by anemic musicians who, not having had their shots of hemoglobin and exhausted by 4:00PM, simply wanted to get it over with. And some of the best songs are simply destroyed; consider, for exemple, the muddled medly towards the end, which, with its overdone tempo and graceless tone, is hardly a substitute for the "All Choked Up" number from the original Broadway version that it substitutes. If you're a fan either of Grease or of Broadway shows in general, steer clear from this one--it is a huge disappointment. On the other hand, I do recommend the original cast recording: it is fun, lively, energetic, and arranged and sung by far more competent musicians and singers.

A weak version,
By Crash and Burn (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grease - Broadway Cast Recording (Audio CD)
This is a fairly unimpressive recording. But I don't know if it's the recordings fault or whoever decided to dumb down Grease. Songs have been removed, others inserted and the whole show just seems really silly and unimpressive. The lead vocals are ok, but some of the others (like Rosie O'Donnell) are a joke. If you're a die hard Grease fan then you might enjoy this CD, I myself don't care for it too much
