The original, R-rated 'Grease' comes home to Chicago

The Theater Loop: "Forty years after its debut at the old Kingston Mines Theatre and after years of sanitation, disco-ization and Hollywood commercialization, the original, Chicago-style, R-rated “Grease” is coming back to its hometown.
As it once was. Or very close."

I had no idea that there was a less teenie bopper version of Grease. Good to know. Grease is all too often done is such a commercial, mainstream way which completely ruins its potential. I would be interested to see this production of Grease simply to see what differences it has gone through. What changes have producers forced on the script in order to make it "more presentable" to the public? I'm sure it will be a completely different show.
