** The Kingston Mines version (and its remake) have Kenickie try to coax Sandy to go off with him into the woods and other places, as part of him trying to make Rizzo jealous. A few reviewers were uncomfortable with his behavior, noting that the way he strong-arms Sandy and forces her away seem to indicate him being a BastardBoyfriend and potential rapist.

** In the original musical, besides dressing up as a "bad girl", Sandy also punches out Patty Simcox (who bears a crush on Danny) in order to impress both the guys ''and'' the Pink Ladies, and to stake her claim on Danny. Of course, this wasn't helped by Patty calling her a floozy.

** Roger is referred to as a "lardass" by both Jan and Sonny in the Broadway script. His character bio also describes him as being stockier compared to the other guys, but most actors playing him tended to be on the thinner side, making these comments look strange. Some productions avert this and cast heavier actors in the role, which creates the effect of him and Jan being the token pair of fat kids.

* HollywoodPudgy: Although the film version still treated Jan as if she were overweight, her actress was actually far from it. They tried to downplay her figure with frumpy clothing compared to the other girls. Her figure is clearly displayed at the end of the film when she's in a summer dress. [[WordofGod Jamie Donnelly]] claims that the intent was for Jan to be played as a fat, frumpy girl at the start and that she'd get more confidence and the chance to clean up nicely.
**This is either averted or played straight in the stage productions, depending on the actress cast in the role. The original Broadway Jan (Garn Stephens) was actually a bit overweight. Later Jan actresses are either chubby, or simply just have slightly thicker hips and waist compared to those playing the other female characters.

* AdaptationDisplacement: You'll usually see the film more remembered than the Broadway musical, especially with most tropes on this article applying to the movie script. The 1971 Kingston Mines ''Grease'' (pre-Broadway) itself was displaced by both, except for when it got a brief 40th anniversary revival.

HoYay: There is perhaps an undercurrent between Danny and Kenickie. During "Summer Nights" Putzie is seen briefly groping Kenickie who looks like he's thoroughly enjoying it. And "Greased Lightning" is brimming with homo-eroticism what with the butt-shots and Danny's head being in direct line to Kenickie's crotch and vice versa much of the time; the fact that the lyrics are about how much ''pussy'' they're going to get makes this a CrowningMomentOfFunny. There's quite an undercurrent in the 'Will you be my second?" conversation they have just before the race.
