We chat with GreaseRiseofthePinkLadies songwriter & producer justtranter and choreographer & director jamal_sims about creating unforgettable moments that honor the original Grease films:
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies joyfully brings viewers back to Rydell High and honors the iconic Grease films while simultaneously building something new. The 10-episode series takes place four years before the events of the original Grease film, which was released in 1978.
Jamal Sims: It was all challenging, but I think we don't necessarily feel like it's an update because it's a prequel. We're kind of just making sure that we honor the blueprint of what it was, but we're also creating a new thing. I never really put the pressure on myself, and I think Justin feels the same. We just wanted to create something entirely new. [Something] that felt familiar, but [also] something exciting. That was the thing for me.
Justin Tranter: I've been interested for years and years; that's why I got into music in the first place, whether it was Grease, obsessing over the Pink Ladies specifically, or Annie, or all these musicals. That's why I ever even realized I liked music, so to get to go back to the things that sparked me in the first place was really exciting.
