Inside Grease: Live The Production Process of a Live Television Musical Event

Abstract

As the "live television musical event" becomes increasingly popular among consumers of live theatre and television, and increasingly accepted as a novel television genre among professional practitioners in the arts sector, production management of this type of production must be understood and streamlined to optimize the quality of the creative product, and maximize human resource during the production process. Analyzing primary data collected in semi-structured interviews with members of the production team of Grease: Live, this research aims to outline the production process of Grease: Live and determine its success factors for management in order to ultimately make recommendations for how similar projects might be effectively planned and managed in the future.
