Bringing together a group of international scholars from diverse academic backgrounds, `Grease Is the Word' analyses the cultural phenomenon `Grease'. From the stage show's first appearance in 1971, the Hollywood film of 1978, to twenty-first century responses to the `Grease Megamix', `Grease Is the Word' reflects on the musical's impact and enduring legacy. With essays covering everything from the film's production history, political representations, industrial impact, stars and reception, the book shines a spotlight on one of Broadway's and Hollywood's biggest commercial successes. By adopting a range of perspectives and drawing on various visual, textual and archival sources, the contributors maintain a vibrant dialogue throughout, offering a timely reappraisal of a musical that continues to resonate with fans and commentators the world over. Written in an engaging, accessible manner, `Grease Is the Word' will appeal to students, academics and anyone interested in American popular culture.
