When Olivia Newton-John appeared on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" in 2016, a fan asked what she honestly thought of "Grease 2." "Not a lot," Newton-John responded with a smile. She told host Andy Cohen that she and John Travolta were approached for the sequel and said it just didn't happen. "And then they made it with other people, and that was my memory of it," Newton-John said.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Newton-John was supportive of "Grease: Live," the musical which aired on Fox in 2016. The singer gave some tips to Sandy's portrayer Julianne Hough, who isn't known for being a singer. "She doesn't need any tips from me," Newton-John told Billboard. "She has her own energy and I think that's what I said to her: "Bring yourself to it. There's no reason to try and copy anyone else. You've got your own style so do it in a new way." According to Page Six, Newton-John was pleased with "Grease: Live." "It was fun," she said.
