To mark the film's 35th anniversary for the 2013 event (July 13), the Hollywood Bowl secured actress Didi Conn (she played "Frenchie" in the original movie) and the band Sha Na Na, who were cast as the band Johnny Casino and the Gamblers in Grease and are featured on six songs from the soundtrack.

During Sha Na Na's warm-up set, the Foo Fighters frontman, resplendent in a shiny red blazer, joined the band on drums during a cover of Little Richards' 1957 Grease-era hit, "Lucille."
