YES! Like, this whole set up of him (having acted ONCE or something) walking in, saying "gimmie" and the principal being like "Sure, that lady director with years of experience is a REAL pain in the ass, anyway." was so infuriating to me. Reminds me of that quote that's something like "Lord, give me the confidence of a mediocre white man."
And then all the plot points are pulled directly from Glee as mentioned...blackmailed football player that the hero teacher "discovers" is actually a great singer, gay and transgendered kids, and the opposing coach of the successful team. Hero genius teacher pulls a rag tag group of kids together - who are all AMAZING singers yet never thought to get involved in the school musical. All done in the exact style of FNL.
Like, I kind of hated everything about it?
But...singing, musicals, Moana being in it, Spring Awakening...I'm totally gonna watch it all. And I'm gonna love it. What can I say...I'm a sucker.
And, yes, to the fact the Spring Awakening is to risqué but Grease is very wholesome! HA!
