Reply to comment by Darcsen in Rydell High is back in a first look at 'Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies' by galaxystars1

But if that’s the main audience (a lot of high schools do this musical) then satire would be sort of above their heads. The kids that don’t need the message of “change and you’ll be liked” are getting that message because they don’t comprehend satire. I didn’t as a high schooler, though I do now.

It originated as a musical, the intended audience for musicals isn't mainly high school aged kids.

Then why did you say, "The whole point of the musical was “change yourself and people will like you.” It’s gross."?

Because that was my experience with it, and I did a lot of musicals in high school. I guess I was wrong in my analysis.
