===2007 Broadway and London revivals and UK tours===
A second Broadway revival, directed and choreographed by [[Kathleen Marshall]], began previews at the [[Brooks Atkinson Theatre]] on July 24, 2007, and opened on August 19, 2007. [[Max Crumm]] and [[Laura Osnes]] were selected to portray Danny and Sandy via viewer votes cast during the run of the [[NBC]] [[reality series]] ''[[Grease: You're the One that I Want!]]''. The original score includes four songs written for the film adaptation: "Hopelessly Devoted to You", "Sandy", "You're the One That I Want", and the title number. The Burger Palace Boys' name is the T-Birds in this revival. The production ended on January 4, 2009, after 31 previews and 554 performances. At the announcement of its closure, the producers revealed that the production recouped its entire investment during its 52nd playing week.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/GREASE_to_Close_on_Broadway_January_4_2009_20081203 |title=''Grease'' to Close on Broadway January 4, 2009 |publisher=Broadwayworld.com |access-date=January 18, 2010}}</ref>
