Cheers for the heads up.

I read recently that Vanessa Hudgens, who was in HSM, played her role of Rizzo hours after learning of her fathers death. Fair dues to her.

No idea...but she is seriously rocking it!!

Great seeing the original Frenchie as Jessie J was walking through (and did I catch a glimpse of another one of the original T-Birds)

Ooh thanks, I didn't know about this!

Not keen on Jessie J singing the theme. Hmm

It just makes you think that the guys who cast the original movie actors got it really right

No one can beat John Travolta!

I remember queuing up at the ABC cinema to see this when it first came out, we were so excited!

Not too bad so far...just wish there weren't so many ad breaks. I mean if you saw it in a theatre, there would only be one break between the first and second acts but this is every 15 minutes or so.

It's not really doing it for me tbh, keep comparing it to the film and it's a bit lacklustre in comparison!

VH is nailing it.

But WTF stole Danny's charisma?

I'm watching it but I can't get over the fact that the characters don't look right to me unless they are the originals.

Travolta/Newton-John/Channing.
I can't get past the fact it isn't right without them!

I loved it! It was very cheesy but I think they pulled it off. I'm surprised by lack of advertising. I follow Juliane Hough on Instagram so I knew it was happening and had wondered when if we would get to see it. Then I happened to see the beginning of Loose Women today where they talked about it. Didn't see any other promotion on UK TV though.

I saw something the other day maybe GMB I'm sure Ross King was on about it wasn't advertised though. I loved Mario Lopez he is as cute as a button his Dimples are adorable.
