## Description

Many familiar faces from the smash hit "Grease" return to the campus and the new ones are equally memorable in this happy tribute to straight skirts, chick-chasing, and young love. It's 1961, two yrs after the original "Grease" gang graduated from Rydall High, and there's a new crop of seniors. The Pink Ladies and the T-Birds are still the epitome of cool, except that over the summer, something's happened to Stephanie, the soroity leader. She feels she's outgrown Johnny the head T-Bird, and is looking for a new love-one who's even more cool, and whose bike is even hotter.

Meanwhile newcomer Michael is smitten with Stephanie, who won't even notice him. The conflict is on and Rydell High fun takes off to new heights.

## Cast

* Maxwell Caulfield as Michael Carrington, an English exchange student and Sandy's cousin. Caulfield had already made his Broadway debut with roles in *The Elephant Man* and *Entertaining Mr. Sloane*. Having seen his performances, Allan Carr offered Caulfield the role of Michael over thousands of applicants. Unlike co-star Michelle Pfeiffer, Caulfield's career following *Grease 2* was damaged by the film's failure. He has been quoted as saying: "Before *Grease 2* came out, I was being hailed as the next Richard Gere or John Travolta. However, when *Grease 2* flopped, nobody would touch me. It felt like a bucket of cold water had been thrown in my face. It took me 10 years to get over *Grease 2*."
* Michelle Pfeiffer as Stephanie Zinone, the leader of the Pink Ladies. With only a few television roles and small film appearances, the 23-year-old Michelle Pfeiffer was an unknown actress when she attended the casting call audition for the role of Stephanie Zinone. Other better-known actresses up for the part included Lisa Hartman, Kristy McNichol, Andrea McArdle, and singer Pat Benatar. Pfeiffer was a wild card choice, but according to Birch, she won the part because she "has a quirky quality you don't expect." Despite the disappointing reception of the film, Pfeiffer's meteoric rise to the Hollywood A-list began the following year when she played Elvira Hancock in *Scarface*.
