In the original production of the musical, Sandy's transformation is actually her becoming herself. It is her "good girl/innocent" look and attitude that she has been forced into by society's expectations and her dramatic change is meant to be her throwing away those expectations and choosing to be who she actually wants to be. The original 1950's musical was written a lot grittier than the film adaption (that current musical adaptions adhere to). Of course, this means that the narrative lacks the connotations that surrounded this moment originally. <br />This is in no way an excuse for the horrible sexism present throughout the show though; I just thought it'd be interesting to share the knowledge I have.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17957754964724434702noreply@blogger.com
