New Grease Ad

pinkfan · Senior Member

I heard that too, it's about time. People from her home town have been disappointed that there was no merchandise with A & D's picture. Just think of the bus load of Derek fans too.
It is unfortunate that Grease is missing out on these sales.

Thank God, it's about time! I'm excited to see how it's turned out. : )

Ashley and Derek just finished a new ad for Grease to be seen in hotels and on airplanes. They filmed in Central Park, sounds cute. Also people have been complaining that there is no Ashley and Derek merchandise to buy so I think that is about to change too at least with new posters.

What a fantastic idea! What were the two doing in the ad? Were they holding hands like Sandy and Danny? Were they dressed in Sandy and Danny outfits?

I know what you mean by people complaining about no A&D merchandise. Several of my friends who went to see Grease complained to me nothing was available to purchase.

All I know is that they were in a boat together and that they got an ice cream cone in Central Park.

That sounds so like Sandy and Danny, doesn't it? I think all of us can relate to a romantic time like that in our own lives.

It's about flippin' time! Just think of all the revenue that was lost by not having Ash and Derek merchandise to purchase. I have heard lots of complaints on that one. You think with a show that sells at such a high percentage, they would be more on the ball with that.

Advertising has to keep up-to-date with the show.

Kristen · Guru

The ad sounds adorable!!!! I'm glad that the word of Ashley and Derek being in the show is being spread! I'd love to see it!

I can't wait for the merchandise too!

Finally! It only makes sense to advertise what you are selling. You learn that in Marketing 101.

Shoot I taught that teaching HIGH SCHOOL marketing....LOL

Broadway Dude · Veteran Member

Yep...new cast...new pictures. Makes perfect sense to me!

That goes for the website too! People get so confused.

Yes, I remember that on the "Hairspray" website. I think the pictures on there are mostly from the original cast...and that was five or so years ago....

Update please! I'm not saying they have to change it every month. But, once a year would be nice!

I agree! I always wanted to see pictures of Ashley as "Amber" on the "Hairspray" website! I hope that they can get some pictures of her as "Sandy" on the "Grease" site!

You don't suppose Grease over bought Laura and Max memorabilia. Perhaps Greaase should have reduced L&M merchandise say half price several months before they left the show. Surely that way, they would have come out further ahead.

Yes, they should have reduced the prices before. Even now, they have not reduced the prices that much. On the website, a Max/Laura magnet that was $7.95 is now reduced to $7.16. You would think that they would lower the prices way more that that! I just hope that the Ashley/Derek merchandise will be available when I go in September!

Definitely! I would buy it! Just name the cost!

Buzzy Bee · Veteran Member

The shadowing is really cool in this pic too!

Wish I Knew It All · Senior Member

Hey Grease Producers! We want one!

Eris · Guru

If I'm going to spend money on a picture of Derek and Ashley it's going to be one where I can see their faces

Shadi Ladi · Guru

not me...this is better!

Kristen · Guru

They can make a few different posters! I won't complain! Of course I would buy them all!

Eris · Guru

So, how many people are going to start checking into random hotels in the hopes of catching this commercial?

pinkfan · Senior Member

Ashley will have plenty of family and friends flying to NY to see the show so at least we will get to hear about the commercial.

May have to make the trip. That way I will see on the airplane too!

Nad · Senior Member

Hot.. hot hot you can burn yourself... but I would not buy it because you dont see there face... when you pay 15 dollars you want to see the face...

Kristen · Guru

I hope that they decide to put the ad on the "Grease on Broadway" website too! That way people who are looking on the computer for information about the show would get to see it too! They should still have it on planes, in hotels, and of course, I'd love to see one on TV too! But if someone who was considering going to see the show was looking for information on the internet, I'm sure that the ad would convince that person to go and see "Grease!"

I'd love to see the ad used in as many places as possible!

I'd love to help!

You'd definitely be good at it Kristen.

Kristen · Guru

Thanks! I made the suggestion about the People article too! As a loyal subscriber for many years, I am still waiting to see Ashley featured in the magazine! I hope that it will happen soon! And I really hope that they put the ad online! I'd love to see it! :)

Shadi Ladi · Guru

Yes, it would be great to see it online.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we will get to see it online! I received this reply back today--" The advertisement you are referring to was shot by the Broadway Preview Channel. The channel airs in NYC hotels as well as on Jet Blue Airways and features interviews, clips and news about current Broadway shows. The footage is owned by them and specific to BPC and therefore cannot be shown on the Grease website. Look for it next time you're in an NYC hotel."

On the bright side, maybe I'll get to see the ad during my next visit!

Shadi Ladi · Guru

That's too bad Kristen...I was looking forward to seeing it too! I never fly Jetblue!

When I told my co-worker the news, she looked at me and asked me if I was going to now have to take a trip on Jet Blue. I'm just hoping they'll have it at my hotel in New York!

Shadi Ladi · Guru

There has got to be a way to view it online. Someone can tape off TV, and then upload to YouTube. I see people do that all the time.

That would be awesome! And less expensive than taking a trip on Jet Blue!

Not very many hotels have VCRs. The only way would be if someone had a video camera and just pointed it at the TV while the commercial was on.

Shadi Ladi · Guru

Yes, I have seen those. The quality isn't very good, but you can see and hear it. I think I saw one or two of the Grease TV videos done that way.

That reminds me, I bought a DVD of Hairspray the Movie on the street when I was in New York one time.
I brought it home and laughed my b___off. The camera was pointed to the movie screen in theatre and you could see people walking in front of the screen.

I surely learned my lesson...lol
