From ArtistsDirect.com – July 9, 2010-Fans may not be turning out in droves for the American Idol tour or Lilith Fair, but they sure are packing houses to sing along to the classic hits from Grease. More Grease Sing-A-Long sellouts have been reported in Austin,TX , Dallas, TX, Los Angeles, CA, New York, NY, Ocala, FL, San Diego, CA and San Francisco, CA. On the heels of promotional, standing room only outdoor screenings across the country, people have flocked to buy tickets for the limited engagements of the hit musical. Whoever came up with this idea is probably laughing all the way to the bank, as even John Travolta’s hometown, Ocala, FL, has reported all showings of the limited engagement are sold out. People want to watch the movie and sing along to the hits! I think I want to get to another one of these fun fests!
Paramount Pictures will expand the film to the following five additional cities on Thursday, July 15th: Houston, TX (Cinemark Woodlands 17); Orlando, FL (AMC Pleasure Island); Phoenix, AZ (AMC Esplanade); San Antonio, TX (STKS Palladium); and Detroit, MI (MJR Partridge Creek). These additional five cities were selected based on the results of an online poll, with fans across the country “demanding” the musical open in their city. The film is being distributed by Paramount Pictures under the newly created Insurge Pictures label.
