Sandy moved past Delaware and New Jersey, unleashing more havoc as it collided with a cold front heading east toward the Atlantic. A separate high-pressure storm to the north of Sandy prevented it from moving away from shore, effectively trapping the now combined storm systems along the coast. Sandy's winds now extended 1,000 miles along the coast. I thought that you’d just been super stressed out with everything — practicing and doing so much work. I just wanted to make you smile.

Wolsky, a costume veteran whose career spans six decades, says it remains part of his reputation. “That will be on my tombstone, that’s for sure,” he says. “I’ve done Sophie’s Choice, I won an Academy Award for All That Jazz, but this is the one that I’m that I’m known for.” It was very clear from the beginning that she would have to change,” says Grease’s costume designer, Albert Wolsky. “The idea was easy because she had been so girlish, so you had to go the other way – totally tight and sophisticated.” While Wolsky made Newton-John’s outfits for most of the movie, the infamous top and trousers were bought vintage. As Newton-John relays in her 2019 autobiography, the zip was broken and she was sewn into the trousers each morning. “They were so old, and there was just one pair, so there was no room for error,” she wrote. “One rip and disaster.”

Two years after Sandy, experts broke down why the storm was so deadly. All but one European weather model had predicted the storm would turn and travel out to sea instead of striking the U.S. Just before the storm hit, the National Hurricane Center put local weather offices in charge of issuing advisories. Many people chose not to evacuate. The wide-reaching storm progressed up the U.S. East Coast. It stayed several hundred miles offshore when passing the Carolinas, but it still pushed large waves and massive amounts of rain ashore. Roads were washed away in the Outer Banks. As the tropical storm system mixed with cooler air, it lost its hurricane structure but retained its intense winds. It was ultimately dubbed a superstorm, an unofficial designation given to large storms that don't easily fit into a single classification.

In addition to providing state funding to help struggling people rebuild their homes, New York and New Jersey also invested in rebuilding their outdated infrastructure meant to prevent flooding.

Tips for Dressing Up as Bad Sandy A report published by the city of New York outlines where the region was vulnerable to a storm the size of Sandy. It found that while some infrastructure like flood walls was out-of-date, the city also did not have sufficient plans in place to deal with the disaster. Most businesses and homeowners in New York City did not have flood insurance, having never suspected a storm the size of Sandy could reach so far north.

That costume, that breakout moment, that reaction by Danny.” Hairstyle and Makeup: To complete the transformation, consider styling your hair in loose curls or waves, similar to Sandy's look in the film.

Power outages from Sandy were experienced as far west as Michigan. Grease is an adaptation of a musical created in Chicago by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey in 1971. Suggestive dances, erotic innuendos, teenage hormones… Far from a family film, the musical was meant for an older public. Although director Randal Kleiser kept a few aspects in his film, the most scandalous lyrics were removed from the songs, to allow Grease to be shown everywhere, in theatres and on TV. Fun fact: before being cast as Danny, John Travolta played a secondary role in the musical on Broadway. A tailor-made pair of pants
