Description: The 1978 musical film "Grease" is a classic that has stood the test of time. The movie is known for its catchy songs, memorable characters, and iconic fashion. One of the most popular groups in the film is the Pink Ladies, a group of high school girls who are tough, stylish, and fiercely loyal to one another. In Paramount+'s television series "Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies," we get to see the backstory of these beloved characters.
The Pink Ladies were originally introduced as a group of friends who hung out at the local diner, the Frosty Palace. They were the cool kids in school, and everyone wanted to join their group. The original Pink Ladies from the iconic film consisted of Rizzo (Stockard Channing), Frenchy (Didi Conn), Marty (Dinah Manoff), and Jan (Jamie Donnelly). Each of these characters had their own distinct personality, which made them stand out from one another.
In "Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies," we get to see how the group was formed and how they became the iconic group we know and love today. The TV series takes place four years before the events of "Grease," and it follows four new characters as they navigate high school and form their own girl gang.
"Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies" will give fans of the original film a new perspective on their favorite characters! Look forward to musical numbers and characters with a lot of heart!
