Massachusetts is poised to become the latest state to validate ticket reselling, following a proposed new bill circulating through the state’s legislature.

FANS—screaming, shrieking, and heard all over midtown Broadway! The Beatles? The Rolling Stones? The Spice Girls?
No, Grease this past Tuesday night.
You’d have thought it was Opening Night, which takes place on August 19th at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.
And outside? Hundreds of fans, wearing “I Love Max” and “I Voted for Laura” tee shirts thronged the stage door for a look at Max Crumm, “Danny Zuko,” and Laura Osnes, “Sandy Dumbrowski,” Security had to be called at the last minute to control the crowd, as the stage door opened and the pair appeared. The fans waved playbills, posters, and photos, pleading for autographs. They traveled from all over the U.S. to see the newest stars on Broadway.
Inside, Kathleen Marshall, the Tony Award-winning director and choreographer, and David Ian, producer, took their turn at signing autographs too. Ian, along with BBC’s Paul Telegdy and Conrad Green served as Executive Producers of the nationally televised weekly talent competition on NBC, “Grease: You’re the One That I Want,” produced by BBC Worldwide Productions. . .

Despite being chosen by America to play the leads of Sandy Dumbrowski and Danny Zuko in this summer's Broadway Grease revival that has already eclipsed $9 million in ticket sales, Crumm and Osnes are reportedly not the favorites of some theater goers that already bought tickets.
