"Grease: Live" aired Sunday night on FOX and at first, I wasn't sure how to feel about it. With the original "Grease"'s overwhelming success and the live version's all-star cast and overwhelming potential, it could have easily been either the best Live TV musical ever or the biggest flop in recent history. I am happy to say that it was, in fact, incredible - mixing just the right amount of the original story and modern twists. The cast was perfect, the music was stunning, and the direction absolutely blew me away. If you missed it, or didn't have any interest in watching it in the first place, here are the top five reasons why you need to go find a re-run of "Grease: Live" and watch it right now.

1. Vanessa Hudgen's unexpected, yet remarkable performance as Rizzo

Which, I might add, happened less than 24 hours after the passing of her father, who was suffering from cancer. If it were not amazing enough that she chose to perform regardless of the loss she had just faced, she absolutely rocked it. Her vocals especially were stunning, and her rendition of "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" was truly beautiful. Admittedly, Hudgens would not have been my first choice for the part of Betty Rizzo, and I still am not sure that she was the best fit, but she still did a wonderful job of transforming the character while also keeping all of the qualities that we know and love. And, quite frankly, I am shocked that she was able to give such a believable and heartfelt performance under the circumstances.

2. The unbelievable direction and filming

Throughout the movie, I swear I must have said "This can't actually be live, can it?" at least 50 times. The absolutely ridiculous speed in which characters were able to perform, change costume, get to different sets, and switch scenes was almost too good to be true. Along with the speed at which the performance moved, the filming was impressive. Somehow, the cameras managed to find a happy medium between stage performance and movie that was almost magical. If it weren't for the occasional breaks and glimpses of the live audience, there's no way I would have believed that it wasn't at least partly pre-filmed. It was that good.

3. Special cameos from the original Frenchy and Doody themselves

Didi Conn and Barry Peal both played parts in the production. Conn played the part of a waitress at the diner the gang frequents and Peal played the part of a television producer. For anyone who loves Grease, the cameos were an unexpected blast from the past that added a definite aspect of charm and nostalgia to the already charming performance.

4. The amazing secondary cast

Eugene, Patty Simcox, Blanche, Principal McGee, and all the other roles that made Grease truly loveable the first time around were only elevated in Grease: Live. All of the actors were absolutely spot-on in their performances, and added an immeasurable amount of comic relief to the show. In particular, Haneefah Wood as Blanche had possibly some of the funniest scenes in the production, even though she only actually had a few lines.

5. The Grand Finale

I can truly say that the final scenes of the performance were by far the best part, regardless of the rain that threatened to push it all indoors. While rain forced part of the scene to be filmed inside, the view of the entire cast jumping in golf carts, singing and having a good time, and riding over to the outdoor set in order to perform the final scene was so enthusiastic and upbeat that I could feel myself getting excited just from the sheer amount of happiness and energy on screen. And obviously, Julianne Hough and Aaron Tveit absolutely nailed it as Sandy and Danny during "You're The One That I Want." Overall, the entire show was good from start to finish, and as someone who isn't usually even a fan of musicals, I 10/10 would recommend it to everyone I know.
