Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies
Jul. 7th, 2023 11:57 pmThis might be the best show you will never see.
I want to make an eloquent and impassioned post about why it's so good and why I love it so much. But I don't know if I can convey that adequately with mere words. I plan to make a post about my favourite songs, because in musicals - yes, it's a musical - songs are how you express your feelings when you can't get them out any other way.
I'm sad and angry that Paramount Plus pulled the show from their streaming service, with only a few days of notice, and barely a month after the season finale aired.
They did it for a tax write-off.
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies is a TV series prequel set four years before the original Grease movie. It's about the origin of the infamous "girl gang" known as the Pink Ladies, founded by four misfits who decide to stand up for themselves, for each other, and for everyone else at the school who is an outcast or an outsider.
( Why I love it )
Anyway, the full opening number is on YouTube:
(If I had a nickel for every time a show I love got disappeared from streaming, I'd have two nickels - which isn't a lot, but I feel like there'll be more nickels coming my way in the future.)
