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.

What is Jesse J doing singing the theme tune??

WhatchaMaCalllit · 03/02/2016 20:05

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)

InQuiteAPickle · 03/02/2016 20:05

Ooh thanks, I didn't know about this!

Not keen on Jessie J singing the theme. Hmm

WhatchaMaCalllit · 03/02/2016 20:14

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

No one can beat John Travolta!

This guy is giving him a good run for his money though

Shoot - there are ads????

AndYourBirdCanSing · 03/02/2016 20:20

Yes I like Danny

exWifebeginsat40 · 03/02/2016 20:20

these things always look like they've been filmed at 10am on a Tuesday in some ITV warehouse. people in their best Bon Marche clapping away like their lives depend on it. lovely.

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!

Julianne hough is my girl crush!! Love her she's so talented

MrsJayy · 03/02/2016 22:28

We are loving it vanessa hudsons is a grand Rizzo the guy who is playing Danny was in les mis ive a soft spot for him but he is a teeny bit old to be Danny

MrsJayy · 03/02/2016 22:29

Its Vanessa Hudgens tsk

multivac · 03/02/2016 22:34

VH is nailing it.

But WTF stole Danny's charisma?

theredlion · 03/02/2016 22:35

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!

MrsJayy · 03/02/2016 22:39

Yeah I am like he is no John Travolta AND kenichie is a bit meh but still enjoying it

theredlion · 03/02/2016 22:48

I'm enjoying it too, just, ya know Smile

MockTheWeek · 03/02/2016 22:52

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.

Theimpossiblegirl · 03/02/2016 22:57

Is it on catch up? Gutted to miss this.

MrsJayy · 03/02/2016 23:00

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.
