The 31-song soundtrack compiles 28 previously released tracks from the series, which have released weekly since the premiere on April 6. Several of them have resonated with fans including the internet favorite “Crushing Me,” sung by Tricia Fukuhara and Ari Notartomaso, which nails the stomach-flip feeling of a new crush, and the punchy ballad full of powerful vocal runs by Marisa Davila on “I Want More.”
GREASE: RISE OF THE PINK LADIES stars Marisa Davila as Jane, Cheyenne Isabel Wells as Olivia, Ari Notartomaso as Cynthia, Tricia Fukuhara as Nancy, Shanel Bailey as Hazel, Madison Thompson as Susan, Johnathan Nieves as Richie, Jason Schmidt as Buddy, Maxwell Whittington-Cooper as Wally and Jackie Hoffman as Asst. Principal McGee.
The musical series takes place four years before the original “Grease.” In 1954, before rock ‘n’ roll ruled, before the T-Birds were the coolest in the school, four fed-up outcasts dare to have fun on their own terms, sparking a moral panic that will change Rydell High forever.
