The new Paramount+ series “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies” is a TV musical about the origin of the gang set before Frenchy, Rizzo and Sandy ever donned their own jackets.
FILE - Marisa Davila, a cast member in the Paramount+ television series"Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies," poses for a portrait during the Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour on Jan. 9, 2023, in Pasadena, Calif.
“When you say Pink Ladies and T-Birds, you’re like, ‘Oh, those are the cool kids in school.’ But when you watch the movie, Rizzo is cool, Kenickie is cool. John Travolta's Danny Zuko is cool. Jan's not cool. Frenchie's not cool. Sonny Doody, are not cool. They are these lovely weirdos who banded together to kind of get through high school together. And I love telling stories about friendship like that.
“The reason I got into music in the first place was movie musicals, whether it was ‘Grease’ or ‘Annie’ or ‘The Little Mermaid,’ said Tranter. “When I read the script I fought really hard for this job." There were moments though where Tranter felt a musical opportunity was missing. When the cast was filming the 10th episode, Tranter was still thinking that the second one could benefit from one more song.
“There was a lot of stops and starts," recalled Sims about finding their rhythm. “Then all of a sudden, Justin and I jumped on a call. We were like, ‘Let’s talk to each other.'”
