Worst musical (in your opinion)

I saw "Grease 2" over Easter weekend.  In no way is it a good movie, and the musical numbers are, without fail, below average and it's choreography is over the top, but, again, "Grease 2" came across as this defenseless movie that made it kind of likable to me.  Lorna Luft had a cute presence, and Peter Frechette was gorgeous and hot and adorable all wrapped up into one.  He played one of the T-birds.  I had a big crush on him for a time, and looked him up and he was been with same guy since 1988.  Lucky boyfriend!

So, I did like "Grease" a lot, but I could watch "Grease 2" again in a pinch.   I have a friend who actually prefers the sequel.  He said "Grease" was not THAT good, and "Grease 2" was not all THAT bad.  lol.   It is always interesting listening to him sort these things out.  He always has something interesting to say.

I actually don't mind watching Grease 2 and I do not find it a chore to watch, but because I absolutely adore the original and think that the sequel does lack the magic and charm of the first, I rate it as bad, because it could have been better than what they gave us. Why they let Patricia Birch direct this, who was the choreographer for the first, I have no idea. Poor choices were made with story concept and production management right from the start and it deserved to fail. Technically it is excellent though. Pfeiffer has no charm to her Stephanie and just comes across as bitch with a carrot stuck up her arse and Caufield is way too pretty. Who were they selling this to, with 2 unknowns in the lead. Yes, I agree with you about Frechette and his music number in the bunker is perhaps my favorite one.

Had a discussion recently with some lesbians acquaintances and we were talking about s<>t and it was brought up if we could only watch one film for the rest of our lives and no other what would we choose. My choice was Grease.
