    • Trivia
      Vanessa Hudgens's father, Gregory Hudgens, died the day of the live broadcast. During the end credits, the production was dedicated to his memory.
    • Goofs
      In the initial East-Coast airing, during the dance-off, coming back from commercial, Vince Fontaine says "American Bandstand" instead of "National Bandstand." The West-Coast airing replaced this with an alternate take where he says the correct line.
    • Quotes

      Principal McGee: Nothing makes a cheerleader more nervous then being late!

    • Alternate versions
      The Fox broadcast version ran roughly 3 minutes longer than the Paramount home video release. As they headed into commercial breaks, Mario Lopez narrated several short behind-the-scenes/making-of segments which were omitted from the DVD.

    Really Good
    Grease: Live is very good. The soundtrack was pretty good and of course, it wasn't as good as the original but still great. They added a new song though, which Frenchy (Carly Rae Jepson) sang well but was just so out of context, it made no sense. It was like it went into the wrong movie. Also, for us while watching live on television, it glitched out a ton during "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and kept going back and forth from a commercial, "Greased Lightening," and the dance scene. Overall pretty good though. If you enjoyed the original Grease, you should definitely try this version. I also love how Pink sang "Grease is the Word" in this one! The beginning was my favorite part of it.
