BWW Reviews: COOL RIDER Original Studio Cast Recording
Following a massive 235 people donating over £12,000 via Kickstarter, Cool Rider (the stage concert production of Grease 2) has been able to release a studio cast recording of the show that received four and five star reviews when being debuted in the West End last year. It may have only been on for seven performances but it had great impact which is reflected in the support it has received from the public. This was also echoed in the 2014 BroadwayWorld Awards whereby Cool Rider received a huge nine nominations. Furthermore, although only being released yesterday, the recording is currently in the top ten of the UK soundtrack iTunes chart.

BWW Reviews: COOL RIDER, Lyric Theatre, Jan 27 2014
Some people call Grease 2 a guilty pleasure. Many more consider it to simply be a bad film. And then there's the rest of us: people who come across it at an early age (often too young to understand what the 'Reproduction' lyrics we like to sing at the dinner table mean), genuinely love it to pieces and never let it go, who at various points in our lives come across fellow fans - there is no quicker bond - with whom we can recite the dialogue and sing the songs, fuelling our shared fervour, and on and on it goes.
