For those of you who've just seen the movie version -- and LOVED it -- let me assure you the stage musical is far superior than the John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John effort. And this soundtrack knocks the pants off the movie's version!
When the (London's) West End version of the "Grease" musical hit the stage in the early 90s, instead of using those (IMHO) 'dreaded stage performers', the producers decided to enlist the services of tv actor cum singer Craig McLachlan and former teen pop idol Debbie Gibson to play the lead roles. And it's their contribution to the soundtrack that make it so enjoyable.
A few of the tracks from the movie don't appear on this CD, which is only natural I guess since it's not exactly the same production. Still, all the BIG hits from "Grease" are present, and with 1990s technology, sound far better than the originals.
Highlights include the cast recording of the song "Grease (Is The Word)" -- you'll need to purchase the CD single to hear Craig's brilliant version though -- "You're The One That I Want" (which is slightly different from the Travolta/Newton-John recording), the 'rock' version of "Greased Lightning" with it's fantastic guitar solo, Debbie's beautiful vocals on "Hopelessly Devoted To You" and Craig's equally beautiful ballad "Sandy".
Alas, there a couple of naff tracks too unfortunately. "We Go Together" is terrible as is the closing number "Grease Medley" (not to be confused with the "Grease Megamix" found on Craig McLachlan's "Grease" CD single). Overall though, this is a soundtrack CD you won't tire of playing.
If you liked "Grease", you really need to see the stage musical version too. If you can't, this CD is the next best thing.
Jon.
