GREASE has got it, from the outstanding animated titles of John Wilson all the way to the rousing finale as John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John ride off into teenage happiness.
Its sensibility is not tied to the past but to a free-wheeling, well-informed present.
What makes it work is its youthful vitality, the tremendous energy and imagination expended on its virtually wall-to-wall song and dance numbers.
