Plot Synopsis
Based on the original 1971 musical "Grease" and the 1978 feature adaptation, GREASE: LIVE, the first-ever live television production of "Grease," reimagines and reintroduces some of the most memorable moments and timeless music from this classic love story. In this live television adaptation, the beginning of senior year means the end of Danny and Sandy's summer romance -- until Sandy unexpectedly transfers to Danny's high school, Rydell High. Can Danny maintain his bad-boy image as the coolest member of the T-Birds, once he and Sandy start going together, and can Sandy remain a good girl after she joins the Pink Ladies? With their friends, bad girl Rizzo and tough sidekick Kenickie, pulling them in different directions, it's up to Danny and Sandy to stay hopelessly devoted as they make their way from Rydell High to a new frontier. FOX will broadcast the GREASE: LIVE on Sunday, January 31, 2016 at 7pm ET (live)/7pm PT (tape delay).
