'Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies' - A Prequel Series That Celebrates Teen Friendship

"Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies" is a surprisingly good prequel to the iconic movie, with a talented and diverse young cast and a bit of edge. Meanwhile, the second season of "Schmigadoon!" shifts to the edgier, sexier fare of the late 1960s and '70s, with riffs on classic musicals. While the musical parodies are fun, the story feels slight. Both shows highlight the boom time for musical series in the streaming era.

'Up Here': A Musical Rom-Com with All-Star Creatives and '90s Romance Vibes

"Up Here," a new musical series on Hulu, merges the classic New York art form of stage musicals with the younger Hollywood one of bingeable half-hour streaming sitcoms. Developed from an original musical by the highly decorated songwriting couple behind "Frozen," Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, the series centers on a young couple whose thoughts, personified by people from their lives, constantly sing up to interfere. The team behind "Up Here" includes Broadway powerhouses such as writer Steven Levenson and director Thomas Kail, and the series drops all eight episodes of its first season on Friday.
