* ActorAllusion: The line "Who wants to watch a bunch of amateurs in a dance contest on live TV?" regarding the National Bandstand is one to Julianne Hough, who rose to fame thanks to ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'', which is built on this premise.
** Sandy is from Utah, and has strict parents who won't let her go to dances. Hough is also from Utah, and noted a strict upbringing in behind-the-scenes material for the DVD/Blu-Ray release - most notably, that her parents wouldn't let her watch the movie version of ''Grease'' because of its raciness; she had to sneak viewings.
** In this version, Patty was quite jealous of Sandy after being shown up at cheerleader tryouts. In the original national tour and Broadway versions of the ''BringItOn'' musical, Elle [=McLemore=] played the conniving cheerleader Eva, though her Patty is nowhere near as bad as Eva was. Then three years later, she plays another cheerleader in ''{{Theatre/Heathers}}'' the Musical, Heather [=McNamara=], though Heather is more soft spoken than the competitive Patty.

It may be hard to notice at first due to the characters talking over it, but the song the band performs during the slow dance part of the prom, before "Born to Hand Jive", is a doo-wop version of their SignatureSong, "Cake By The Ocean".

* CutSong: The Broadway production itself cut or altered musical numbers for timing purposes. Most of the below examples were reinstated for [[http://www.atcweb.org/bxo/grease.php# the 2011 ''Original Grease'' production]] in Chicago:
** "Foster Beach" was changed to "Summer Nights", as Broadway producers felt audiences would not be familiar with the beach (a Chicago-specific locale on Lake Michigan).
** Patty and Miss Lynch originally had solo numbers, but both were cut.
** Before the movie would have its own titular song, there was an Act II number called "Grease" that was dropped (it would also be reprised as the final musical number). Another song called "Boogie Man Boogie" was cut and replaced with "Born To Hand Jive".
** Besides "It's Raining On Prom Night", Sandy had a solo number called "Kiss It" (in the ''Original Grease'', this comes before "All Choked Up", the song created to replace it in the Broadway script).
** Doody's song was originally in Act II and titled "Rock Progression", but it was moved to Act I and rewritten to be "Those Magic Changes". "Rock N' Roll Party Queen" was created for the second act instead.
** The Burger Palace Boys were to have two songs entitled "The Tattoo Song" and "Comin' At Ya", but these were cut before the Kingston Mines premiere.
** "How Big I'm Gonna Be" was a song cut before rehearsals of the Kingston Mines production began. It explored a greaser's idea of success in life, and became Danny's solo in the American Theater Company's 2011 stage remake of the original Grease. The song is used as a response to Sandy's challenge that Danny do something with his life.

It may be hard to notice at first due to the characters talking over it, but the song the band performs during the slow dance part of the prom, before "Born to Hand Jive", is a doo-wop version of their SignatureSong, "Cake By The Ocean".

* {{Blooper}}: In the 2016 version, "We Go Together" was, as it always is, the show's closing number. The carnival took place inside the school's gym, but "We Go Together" was to finish at the town square on the Warner Bros. studio lot. The entirety of the cast ran out of the gym, and hopped on to separate carts that are used to take people on tours of the lot. The main cast, with Aaron Tveit driving, hopped into the first cart. The carts had to navigate around a tight right-hand turn on their way to the square. Tveit successfully navigated the turn with no issue. The cart behind him however, with Wendell Pierce and Eve Plumb (yes, [[TheBradyBunch Jan Brady]] herself) on board, took the turn too tightly. The right rear wheel clipped the curb, and for a millisecond, the right side tires were off the ground. Luckily, the cart landed on all four wheels with no issue. If an accident had occurred, it would've greatly overshadowed a production that got great reviews and ratings.
