Well if the panel has anything to do with influencing the public in how they vote looks like Laura and Max will be the winners. I would take Max over Austin but not sure about Laura over Ashley. They are both good but I really though Ashley had better chemistry with Max, though Laura was a little (very little) better in the singing. Personally I think it should have been Derek as Danny, but what do I know, I'd have just been a possible ticket buyer... NOT! |

I agree with you 100%. The show lost its luster when they eliminated Derek. I wanted it to be Laura and Derek in the end, but I'll be happy if it's Laura and Austin! Max just does not read "leader of the pack" to me. I don't care what those stupid judges say!! |

I watched Laura and Austin together pretty closely and I really don't think they clicked. They actually appeared to be trying to outshine each other than clicking as a couple. Most natural couple seemed to be Ashley and Max but I agree about Max not seeing like the Danny type but then neither does Austin. I will admit after hearing the stories of their lives and what they have over came I shed a tear or two and was torn between them. But man did Max over come soooo much. At this point I guess it doesn't matter who wins. They got the top two girls right but struck way out with the guys. Of course I won't be traveling to NY to see the show anyway. |

Austin would try to outshine anyone... it's part of what makes him so disgustingly sickening. |

So glad I'm not the only one that thinks that, Dflem!

Trust me...Derek was my first and only pick. But given what's left over, I'll take Austin any day over Max! |

I'd actually like to vote none of the above out of the choices left for Danny...

So I got half of my choice for Final 2.  I wasn't really thrilled with the rest of the cast either. They didn't strike me as the people I envisioned for this show.

I am glad I wasn't the only one who thought the rest of the broadway cast wasn't 'all that'!! I really don't think Max is going to be able to carry that production but I suppose they have ways around that. If records can make people sound better than they are maybe a Broadway state can too. I really wanted Ashley for Sandy but it was really a toss up. Both were very good. Both would have made good Sandys ... unlike who the two Danny choices. |

I was so thoroughly unimpressed last night! I think that just about the only good choice that was made was Laura. I worry she may end up carrying the production. |

I was not happy with the choices as well...I like Ashley...I had since the beginning! What was up with the cast? The last one that was supposed to be Rizzo...looked like that DiGorio girl that was with Danny in the dancing competition...you know who I'm talking about (at their prom)? And who was that fat guy supposed to be? Good Lord! And there was another bigger girl...what was up with that? They were all skinny.....I hope they have to lose some weight or something...gosh! (not trying to be mean...they just didn't look like the stars) |

The heavier girl in pigtails was the one that wore pigtails in the movie. Can't remember the name but she was a little chubby. The one that is Frenchie sure didn't seem like any version of Frenchie I have ever seen. And the one playing Rizzo ... well I guess it is hard to picture someone else in the role .... as with all the new 'versions' of the characters we know. (I agree she looked like the girl Danny danced with at the dancing comp in the movie) I can't remember who they said the heavy set guy was but I sure don't remember any overweight men in the original. Unless something really great happens I just can't see Max carrying the character of Danny. He may LOOK a little like him, but he just doesn't have the dynamic that Travolta had in the part, and no matter what people say, they ARE going to judge this production based on the familiar characters they have grown to associate with each role. |

Adrian Zmed was the best live Danny I've seen and I've seen a LOT! I do not think this cast is indicative of a traditional Grease cast at all. When you have somebody like Max playing Danny, I guess the rest of the cast will follow suit! The stage version is a lot different than the screen version, but I still don't see these characters pulling off what we've come to know characteristcially as kids who attend Rydell High. |

Both my picks/predictions were the runner ups! I wanted Derek after watching but I gave my predictions before we really got to see them. Not bad (as i pat myself on my back) |

Did anyone else catch Max and Laura on Mike & Juliet in the Morning today? She's awfully cute, and sells the part, but I just don't know about Max. They have some work to do with him. According to the show this morning, they open in July. That's not a lot of time. |
