That moral-of-the-story springs from a discovery by Disney's "HSM"-meisters after the original became a blockbuster sensation. Their "Grease"- for-a-new-generation turned out to have a substantial impact on high school culture they hadn't anticipated from the simple tale of a hotshot basketball player who decides to try out for, yes, his high school musical.
