Fans rejoice as Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta bring back their iconic Grease characters

Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta have reunited in a blaze of glory for the Meet N Grease Movie Singalong in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The pair reprised the iconic roles of Sandy and Danny and it’s the first time that the pair have been in costume since the movie was made more than 40 years ago.

Newton-John announced the reveal on her Instagram.

"First time in costume since we made the movie! So excited," she wrote.

The singalong event featured a screening of the film where the audience was encouraged to dress up and sing along to the songs they know and love as well as an intimate Q&A with Travolta and Newton-John.

The pair donned their leather jackets while answering questions from the crowd. One fan asked how they had managed to stay in touch over the years, given the success of the film was more than 40 years ago.

“Once you love someone, you don’t unlove them. You love them forever,” Travolta sweetly explained, according to Forbes.

Fans also asked how many kids that Danny and Sandy would’ve had in the film. Travolta said that the pair would have had six kids, since he was from an era where people had a lot of children.

However, Newton-John quickly put a stop to six children by saying “That’ll do. That’s enough.”

During the evening, Travolta spoiled the crowd by singing a portion of “Sandy” while Newton John, not to be outdone, sung “Hopelessly Devoted To You” a cappella to the crowd.

Later, Travolta was backed by leather jacket clad greasers to a performance of “Greased Lightning”.
