John Travolta Surprises ‘Grease’ Fans and Revives Danny Zucko Live in Person at Hollywood Bowl Song-a-Long

In the video, Travolta swaggered on stage as the leather-clad greaser, as the packed Hollywood Bowl erupted in cheers. Travolta then greeted the other original cast members on stage, who were stunned themselves to see him, before addressing the crowd.

“L.A! I thought you were going back to Australia?” Travolta joked, referencing the iconic line from the classic movie musical. “That’s cool, that’s cool, baby. You know, rocking and rolling and whatnot.”

After a three-count, Travolta and the rest of his former castmates then sang in unison with the crowd, “a-womp-bop-a-looma a-womp-bam-boom.” The “Grease” star then said to the audience, “Enjoy the show. We love you!”

Joining Travolta on stage were director Randal Kleiser, Barry Pearl, Didi Conn, Barry Pearl, Kelly Ward and Michael Tucci.

Released in 1978, Travolta starred in “Grease” alongside Olivia Newton-John, who died in 2022. Other cast members include Stockard Channing, Jeff Conaway, Jamie Donnelly, Dinah Manoff and Eve Arden. Made for only $6 million, the film became Paramount’s highest earner by the end of its run, with a gross of more than $130 million.
