For this Broadway revival of the 1972 show,
Jim Jacobs
and
Warren Casey
's score has been reorchestrated and a genuine oldie has been added,
The Skyliners
'
"Since I Don't Have You."
But
Grease!
is still the same shallow pastiche of 1950s high school references, still unsure whether it wants to celebrate or satirize. The new cast sings with gusto (including star
Rosie O'Donnell
, who is more comedienne than vocalist), but this still isn't much of a show. ~ William Ruhlmann
