Grease The Musical | West End LIVE 2023

[@JosephsJUKEBOX]

I'm still so impressed how they actually managed to commence summer nights bang on time with the music hardly in existence. KUDOS!

[@unidan82]

I think THEY could hear the music

[@dontleavemehangin]

@@unidan82 no they can't, wel is so bad with music

[@melindayang4718]

You can barely hear the music. I turned up the volume and put my phone speakers to an ear…I could barely hear some remnants of the music during some moments of silence after the two leads did their intro dialogue

[@risaennis6844]

Insanely talented cast the casting absolutely perfect I am obsessed with the Rizzo and the Kenicki is amazing

[@emilytolman46]

Bravo to them for not stopping during the performance!

[@E11i0t9]

That’s what there best at!

[@michaelarthurdeutrich624]

Well done, guys . Greetings from 🇳🇴

[@callalily3994]

I said this after seeing her in Rent, too -- Jocasta Almgill has one of the best American accents I've ever heard from a British performer. I had to google her to convince myself that she wasn't actually American.

[@dcemerald70]

Amazing performance from a talented cast of an iconic musical!!! Bravo!!! 👏👏👏🚘🩷🖤

If you are going to comment awful stuff about the actors and sound then ask yourself this question… Have you performed on an outdoor stage in front of thousands of people in ridiculous heat?? No probably not. West end live is one of the hardest things these actors and sound techs do. I’m not surprised most of the shows don’t do it in costume. It was hot enough in t-shirts and shorts never mind multi-later costumes! Give them some credit for doing their job and giving us this all for free!!! Stop commenting anything unless it’s positive. The whole point of west end live is to share joy and happiness!!!

[@rcov9747]

People can comment whatever they want

[@katlndry]

It’s not the actors fault but the sound is terrible. It’s a WEL issue, it happens every single year.

[@juxtaposedlime2734]

​@@katlndryBecause it's done LIVE. If the WEL shows had a Blu-ray, DVD, or any other release after the live show, we'd get a better sounding mix.

Thanks for sharing these videos on KZbin, for those of us who could not be in London to see them live. What amazing talent we have working in our theatres! 😍 ... However, to whoever technically managed this show, specifically the sound mix for these recordings, this is embarrassing! You've let down all the performers significantly, across all the 2023 West End Live performances I've watched so far. Why's the audio level of the crowd so low in all videos? What happened to balancing vocal levels in duets? Vocal reverb? What a shame. You were there to make these performances shine, instead all I can "see" when I watch it is the chaotic, poor technical production. 👎

[@Ananya-o4e]

I was there yesterday, and the sound was amazing for most songs (but I was at the very front), and we could hear the backing track/music loud and clear. I think in the recordings it’s just so much worse… also I think they edit the sound of the crowd cause we were extremely loud

[@Whydidmyhandlechange414]

Welcome to West End Live videos 😂

[@cervgiovanni]

The sound is great. They're promoting the musical at an outside festival. Their costumes look 50s enough. These comments are an L

[@Orion-cb8ws]

Ik this is an incredibly late reply. But these aren’t the costumes they use in the show.

[@dontleavemehangin]

who's the main dude in grease lightning? He's kinda fit

[@lily-jaiicooper2817]

I think his names Solomon Davy or something like that

[@bluebird6348]

Solomon david. This is his professional debut too

[@kaylol934]

his name is solomon davy, and let me tell you he was absolutely phenomenal in the actual production. saw it with my mom a few weeks ago and he was my favourite part of the whole thing. he’s even cuter in person lmao

[@dontleavemehangin]

@@kaylol934 ty!!

[@gracebailey4174]

Solomon davy isn't Danny he is nest friend

[@EffMTee]

The point of West End Live is to provide you a snippet to entice you to pay and go see the actual show lol.

[@waileung9875]

All time favorite 😊

[@davedarlington5089]

If you wish the full package purchase a ticket...

[@Cweisman35]

They used the original lyric "cream" instead of "scream"!

[@ellawatts4444]

Who is Danny played by in this?

[@timsamanthony]

Why do musicals at West End Live barely perform in costume anymore? I think it is better when they do perform in some form of their costume, recently it has been normal clothes or t-shirts with the musical logo on it

[@penguinlegs1236]

I'd imagine the heat has something to do with it! Getting sweaty then having to do two more shows the same day.

[@melindayang4718]

Disney shows aren’t allowed to wear their costumes out of the theater

[@cassyvjlee5925]

Full hair and costume also involves other departments and they are often back at the theatre prepping everything for the two shows that day. There’s a lot behind the scenes to get get a show up that factor in.

[@rishard-kyronelson6472]

Also, most musicals have a show right after so not enough time to get costumes ready for showtime

[@rcov9747]

Could have at least worn her Sandy wig....for a sec, I was like, who is that?

[@friezenfan]

Why does sandy have to be a blonde?

[@ellie1981]

Olivia doesn’t wear a blonde wig for the show. Her Sandy is brunette

[@rcov9747]

@@friezenfan Sandy has an iconic look! Not sure why they've changed it, but whatever.

[@arwenford2554]

The musical theatre sandy is usually brunette only the movie sandy is blonde.

[@arwenford2554]

She was made blonde for the movie. So should argue that sandy in the movie should have been brunette as it was made after.

[@pamelawing5747]

Sandy is blonde.
