I've been reading a lot of posts about changes that should be made, and one that keeps coming up is that they need to make the book make more sense. I've seen the show a ton of times, and while the excitement of the cast and the fun of the show can take your mind off of it, the storyline has always made more sense in the movie. I think the hard part is that the Danny/Sandy story is really the only part of the plot that stretches from the beginning to the end, and since they were made the leads of the movie version, that gave the thinly plotted show at least a story to follow as the vignettes of the other characters came and went. Like many people on the board, I've always found it strange how much better the movie flows than the stage show, and I have to feel if they had the ability to severly alter the script of the show, it would have been done a long time ago. (You have to realize this revival is the first Broadway production to get the rights to use the added movie songs from almost thirty years ago, and it wasn't for lack of trying!) My guess, especially with Jim Jacobs involved, is that they don't have the rights to really alter the script to a large extent, and on top of that are probably limited to what they can take from the movie since another scriptwriter would be involved. While I doubt it was authorized or legal, has anyone seen a major production done with the movie script or more of the movie "flow" in mind? How did that work? Or has anyone heard of a production of Grease stopped for trying to alter the show? (I've seen it happen with other shows!)
