What Parents Need to Know
About Grease: You're the One That I Want
Parents need to know that this reality show -- in which contestants vie for leading roles in an upcoming Broadway production of Grease -- plays out much like trendsetter American Idol, but without the rude comments from judges. The show gives plenty of air time to bad performances as well as good ones, but the three judges keep negativity to a minimum. Some contestants (mostly those who are older, heavier, or of color) are told they may not "look the parts" made famous by Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, but they're never eliminated based on appearance alone, and a few are applauded by the judges for their efforts to break stereotypes.

Best Reality Show Ever!!!
I am a huge fan of Grease. I have seen the musical on stage six times and the movie too many times to count. When I heard about this, I couldn't wait! It didn't disappoint me. It has a similar concept to American Idol, but is completely different. Grease Academy worked the contestants hard and proved Broadway calls for more than just a singer. I really want Chad Doreck and Ashley Spencer to win. Chad is an amazing singer and dancer, and Ashley is great. This show is great for all ages who are fans of Grease. The judges are a lot nicer and more encouriging than American Idol and the contestants are great role moldels for kids because they never give up on their dreams.
