GREASE is the word (is the word that you heard) as NostalgiaCast returns to Rydell High for a boppier, bouncier-than-expected discussion of what is arguably the quintessential '70s musical, directed by Randal Kleiser and starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. Jonny and Darin chat about the energetic performances, irresistible songs, and R-rated innuendos, lyrics, and visual gags that have been inadverdently enjoyed by families for almost half a century. With relish!
This week, Sadie memorializes the stunning Olivia Newton-John who just recently passed away. Although most famous for her starring role in Grease, the Australian actress had a long and pretty successful country music career before settling on the screen for her iconic role opposite Travolta, as well as Xanadu and a slew of other films, and then releasing the MOST popular song of the eighties 'Physical.' We talk all about her long and stunning career, her charity work and philanthropy, her long battle with breast cancer, and all the things that made her such a stunning and talented woman worth remembering.Episodes Like This One: The ______ Girl, Julie Andrews, Women in Country MusicFollow us on Instagram @morethanamuse.podcast

"We belong together", they sing at the end of Grease (1978). Do they now? It's kind of hard to imagine all these people spending the rest of their lives together in perfect bliss, in perpetuity. Even if you love this musical. Well, at least Danny (John Travolta) and Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) flew off in a car, so they are probably solid. Until part 2. Someone who loves delving into this fifties style high school musical, is Tulya Kavaklioglu. As a kid, she performed songs from Grease on stage, dressed as one of the characters. Nowadays she's a theatre maker, director and actress with WOW-Effect Theatre, putting on English language plays in De Lindenberg in Nijmegen. We talk, amongst other things, about the quest for oneself, high school bullying and relating to the character of Eugene. And also Rizzo. Somewhat.

No matter what you put on a pedestal, it will always reach for something higher. You meet people where they are everyday and those people are wanting and needing just like everyone else; celebrity or not. Do you have the courage to be the vehicle to being them to God?
Have you ever heard the expression "kissed by a muse"? Well, that's what I am. I'm a muse.
Olivia Newton-John has a career spanning over five decades with more than 100 million albums sold. Her successes include four Grammys, numerous Country Music, American Music, Billboard and People’s Choice Awards, an Emmy Award, ten #1 hits, and more than 15 top 10 singles. In 1992, Olivia was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her personal journey with cancer led her to create the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre (ONJCWRC) in her hometown of Melbourne, Australia. After nearly ten years of fundraising close to $200 million, the ONJCWRC opened its doors in 2012. The Centre provides a comprehensive range of services and facilities for cancer treatment, education, training, and research as well as a dedicated wellness center (ONJCancerCentre.org). In 2017 Olivia revealed the very personal news that her breast cancer had returned and metastasized to her sacrum. This year Olivia released her deeply personal, best-selling memoir, “Don’t Stop Believin’,” and it debuted at #12 on the New York Times Bestseller list. The book tells Olivia’s story for the first time in her own words and is a must-read. Listen in to this episode to hear more from Olivia about her journey, her amazing cancer wellness research centreand the advice to never stop "believin'".

British superstar Cliff Richard has released his first album of new material in 14 years, and the man who launched his career in the late 1950s as England’s answer to Elvis Presley, still sounds fresh and energetic. The album features songs written by some of Richard’s long-time associates, including Terry Britten (“Devil Woman,” “What’s Love Got to Do with It”), Christopher Neville Eaton ("Lost in a Lonely World,” “Saviour’s Day”) and Chris Neil (“All I Need Is A Miracle”). Additionally, long-time friend Olivia Newton-John sings a duet with Richard, who, at 78-years-old, has apparently found the vocal Fountain of Youth. The album also features four of Richard’s past hits that have been given new arrangements with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Producers Juliette Pochin and James Morgan were charged with classically enhancing songs such as “Devil Woman” and “Miss You Nights,” and the husband and wife team speak to journalist Robert Neil about the process (as well as the nervousness of presenting the songs to Richard). This episode also offers a brief profile of Richard for the American audience, where he was never able to achieve the same level of stardom as he did in the UK, where he is one of the best-selling artists of all time. Notable Quotes about Sir Cliff Richard, who was knighted in 1995: Bob Geldof “It’s never been said, but without Cliff and (his backing group) The Shadows, there’s no English pop business. As George Harrison said: ‘No Shadows, no Beatles.’” John Lennon “The first English record that was anywhere near anywhere was “Move It” by Cliff Richard. Before, there’d been nothing.” Sting “Cliff Richard is, in my opinion, one of Britain’s finest singers technically and emotionally. I’ve been a fan since “Living Doll.” Long may he sing.” Queen’s Freddie Mercury “A tremendous influence on my early days as a performer.”
Grease is the 110th effort in the Next 100 Project series and this was not an easy movie to review. As popular as it was and still is, the Travolta/OLJ singathon’s story and characters can’t keep up with the uber-famous songs. But, man, those songs are beloved for a reason.
