If you're anything like me, you love Grease, and when you heard about Grease Live? You probably flipped out. Although it was only live for one night, you can guarantee I'll be watching its reruns until the end of time. Here's my list of the 10 best moments from Grease Live.
1. When Jessie J started the show off with her amazing rendition of "Grease (Is the Word)." She strutted the streets of the fake Grease town in a killer outfit, stopping along the way to sing with pretty much each and every one of the cast members. Oh, and did I mention she did all of this in the rain? ABSOLUTELY SLAYED IT.
Pretty sure she should be the next addition to the Pink Ladies.
2. When this time around you actually get to see Sandy in cheerleading tryouts. The live audience only added to the spectacle as we got to watch Julianne Hough absolutely own Patty's "tough" routine. It probably helps that she's a professional dancer in real life, right?
Yeah, Sandy!!!
3. When Vanessa Hudgens gave a super fun and flirty performance of "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee." (She totally rocked the blonde wig btw).
Some people are so touchy.
4. When Keke Palmer seriously slayed as Marty during her "Freddy My Love" song. (Which isn't even featured in the original movie btw).
That red dress though!!!
5. WHEN GREASE LIGHTNING HAPPENED
Arguably the most iconic scene in the original movie, and I'd say Grease Live did it justice. The choreography throughout the whole show was insanely perfect, but Grease Lightning especially had me "a rockin and a rollin."
(Plus, did anyone see Aaron Tveit's biceps? Yeah, okay, just making sure).
6. When they put a spin on Doody's character and gave him the gift of being musically talented. Yeah, his song "Magic Changes?" DEFINITELY gave me all the feels.
You could serenade me any day, Doody.
7. When old Frenchie gave new Frenchie advice and it was the absolute cutest thing in the worlllldddd.
Ugh, Didi Conn hasn't changed a bit. And I love it.
8. When Vanessa Hudgens embraced "the show must go on" in the truest sense and gave a stellar performance as Rizzo, even though her dad had passed away just the day before.
Her heart-wrenching performance of "There are Worse Things I Could Do" gave me chills. Amazing.
9. When "Born to Hand Jive" was seriously flawless. From Joe Jonas and his band portraying Johnny Casino and the Gamblers and singing "Born to Hand Jive," to Mario Lopez acting as Vince Fontaine and emceeing the dance competition, to getting to see the amazing choreography and dancing of the entire cast during this one of a kind number.

10. When Julianne Hough walked in after her transformation from "Good Sandy" to "Bad Sandy" and not only did Danny's jaw drop, but I'm pretty sure everyone in the audience's did too. (Mine included)
Also, they made it more apparent that Sandy's transition was about self-discovery, (instead of her just changing for a guy) which made me love Grease Live even more.
While obviously nothing can top the original Grease, I think Grease Live came pretty dang close. It was so amazing to see this type of approach to a remake. A musical broadcasted on live television featuring a star-studded cast, amazing sets (both outside and inside!), and a more modern take on the original movie (props to a diverse cast!), really added, in my opinion, to the overall show. And I definitely think that every character, big or small, really invested in their part and it made watching it that much more fun.
So in the words of Grease: A WAP BOP BOO-BAP? A WAP BAM BOOM!
