Grease Sequel With Michelle Pfeiffer Streams Free This Month

The musical returns to Rydell High School two years after the original film's graduation, with a completely new cast led by Maxwell Caulfield and Michelle Pfeiffer in her first starring role.

Here's how to catch Grease 2 now:

The plot centers around Stephanie Zinone (Michelle Pfeiffer) who is the leader of Rydell High School's Pink Ladies, a gang of girls who are counterparts of the school's group of greasers, the T-Birds.

Stephanie is tired of her relationship with top T-Bird Johnny Nogerelli (Adrian Zmed), so she breaks up with him and quickly catches the eye of English exchange student Michael Carrington (Maxwell Caulfield). Hoping to win her over, Michael tries to overcome his nerdy ways while holding off the jealous Johnny.

The musical will be streaming for free through Tubi TV for the month of December (in the United States only). A direct link to the stream has been added to our updating list of free musicals.

The film was released in the US in the summer of 1982 and while it was considered a box office success, it grossed just $15 million compared to the original film's $132 million domestic box office. 

The film received mostly negative reviews but eventually manage to crease a big fan following.

In his original review for The Washington Post, Gary Arnold said: ""Grease 2" is the most serendipitous sequel in recent memory. It is an ingratiating, jubilant improvement on a crummy original. And as the box-office smash of four summers ago, "Grease" left plenty of room for improvement, especially as an example of movie musical stylization. The movie's enormous success appeared to be a fluke, attributable to the popularity of John Travolta. Even so, it was depressing to contemplate the fact that "Grease" had become the top-grossing musical in Hollywood history, surpassing even "The Sound of Music" and vaulting into fourth place on the Variety list of all-time hits. The whole tradition seemed to be devalued by the sudden commercial preeminence of this overwhelming esthetic insult to movie musicals."
