i know it's been a while, but i just wanted to say, Austin puts a lot of y's in his words. like at the beginning, "straynded at the dryve in." and "Sayndy" i'm not saying he's bad or anything, just that he should work on that.

4:02 You know, this Jan character reminded me of Gilda Radner.

i didnt know anything about this series so just a question is it a broadway themed thing?coz if so they do pretty well but otherwise they are just way too ott they need to be a lil more natural dont you think?

he doesnt look like a danny, glad he's not the west end danny beacuse our danny is magic, although he did break his back on the grease lightning car

when I first saw this i was so annoyed cause we couldn't hear him somewhat because of the screaming fan who was like screaming with all that she had.

Ah, where was Doody when they introduced the cast!?!?

I like the Sandy... The Dan could use some work :D

ok... i hope that with some rehersal and a little recasting and better blocking (i know its a small stage) ill be very happy to see it.

I saw the show in Aug. Max and Laura did really good as did the rest of the cast.

OMG! I saw Grease on Broadway on September 29, and it was the best day of my life! Max and Laura were great and they were so nice! THey gave everybody who wanted an autograph and they even took a picture with my sister! I loved that day!

Max showed a better understanding of character than any of the others. Danny wasn't an athlete. And Max is phenomenol!

Anyone else think that Austin looks like Martin Short? I can't stand Austin. He would have made a horrible Danny.

Keep trying...it works for me.

aww. austin is good and very talented, but i just think max deserved this part. austin kinda sounded too squeaky in the beginning of the song and his chemistry with the girls doesnt seem natural enough. i thought max sounded great in this song and he has great chemistry with both the girls (esp. with laura at the stairs). so cute. the right people definitely won and austin and ashley will definitely be in other things.

I can't seem to find the finale Version of "Born to Hand Jive" anywhere...

How did Max win? Talent, humor, devoted fans, & did I mention talent? What did David Ian say? Oh yeah, "back the talent". And they did, the producer, the director/choreographer and the co-creator did exactly that. And so did America.

Laura flubbed it a little bit... she forgot to sing walking down the stairs. But bravo, I loved this show. Hopefully they release a DVD of the broadway performance.

I agree. I actually voted for Ashley and Max, and I was a little bummed to see Laura get the part. But, like you said...Laura will do fine. Ashley just would have been a better match-up with Max, as they had better chemistry together. Besides, Ashley is HOT! :)

perfect! max is amazing rizzo...wow talk about intimidating

go max and laura!!! all contestants are great!!!!

yay! the people i wanted to win won. theyre great!!! go max and laura.

I love Max, he reminds me so much of John Cusack(After Grease, he should SO be the lead in High Fidelity)

The video stops after 2:08 could someone fix it or post his video again

I am so happy for Max and Laura but I am not happy about the rest of the cast they seem way to old to be playing with the youth of Max and Laura

I'm sooooo glad Laura and Max won!

THANK YOU, I loved re-watching this. They did such a great job making it exciting!!!

I know what you mean about the Broadway Cast. Their voices are PHENOMENAL.. but they do look kinda old after we just got done watching 16 to 25 (or so) yr olds for the last couple of months. I remember thinking that when comparing Phantom of the Opera on stage vs the movie. But it takes A LOT of work & time to get that part usually and time ages you.

Beautiful. Thanks for posting this video. I'm a lifelong Max fan, and I think all of the rest of the cast will have tons of offers.

Lordy. Weren't all four of these folks wonderful! Max so hit those notes at the start of the song. He so deserves this role. I'm excited for him!

Yayyy for Laura and Max! :D

i LUV luara HOPE SHE WINS!!! <3

Would someone please post Max's performence of Grease Lighting after he won the part.

Now I see this.. I think Ashely should have been chosen. But Laura is good, too...

Agreed. The T-Birds aren't as badass as everyone keeps trying to make them sound anyway; they would get their butts kicked by the other gang. They just happen to be more bad boy and punk than most of the good kids at the school. Not to mention how bad Danny is at all the jock stuff, because he's not an athlete and he doesn't care. He's a laid back slacker who's lovable because he's sincere, almsot to a fault. Now who does THAT sound like?

For this song, I'd pick Laura and Austin. Even though ashley was VERY convincing. Max was very breathy and practically whispered the song. What he didn't whisper sounded off with Laura. _K

When people pay really good money to go see a BROADWAY musical, I'm pretty sure you want talent over who looks more like John Travolta. Max can outsing and outact Austin. As for sympathy votes...not so much. Plus, Austin's little bit was just as sappy...the producers tell them to be dramatic...it's better t.v. GO MAX!

Max! Max! Max! Max! Max! Austin is too fake and tries way too hard. Max can be any character he wants because he becomes the person he's playing. GO MAX (AND LAURA)!

i dont really care which sandy wins...as long as max wins..ill be happy

The last time i checked, Danny is not a pipsqueek. Those ears and his srawny build just make him look more like a geek the T-Birds would pick on rather than follow. And his last comment about him having Bell's Palsy. Pulease! Can you say sympathy votes?

even though ashley is really good and pretty, i think laura is better overall and has a much better voice and tone. same goes for max. max and laura!

Ashley definitely has a sexier edge over Laura, and she has a better trained voice. Laura is good, but Ashley is better overall and ought to win. She matches up with Max pretty well, too.

yay!! i agree!! go max and laura!!!

ok, we've already agreed that max sounds good with either girls. Max should win. I personally think laura is a stage hogger so im voting for ashely. besides that, ashley and max look cute together

They're all really cute. But Austin and Laura look adorable together. Max is sweeter, Austin is hotter.

How funny. I just watched this and totally felt the chemistry (and the singing) was just amazing with Austin and Ashley. They look like Danny and Sandy to me.

GO ASHLEY AND AUSTIN!!! I actually really want Ashley and Max to win, their perfect

ashley and max were a bit awkward together. but austin/laura had good chemistry. but im rooting for MAX and LAURA!!

both austin and max are good singers, however i think that max's voice is more danny, because austin started too "low" in the beginning of the song. GO LAURA!!!

GO LAURA!!!!

I agree that either would be a great Sandy but i believe that Laura IS Sandy because you can see the passion in hers eyes in all of her performances
