Why does basically no one stage the original 1971 version of Grease even though it's been reconstructed?

I just find it odd, the original Grease is a really good show, akin to West Side Story, and in my personal opinion, I think it's better than the movie, and the version of the show that came after it got transfered over to New York

I really liked the gritty and real musical about gang violence, class divides, and teenage pregnancy. And how it was more of a ensemble show rather than just having Danny and Sandy take the spotlight, shining more plot threads with Miller (replaced with Kenickie in the movie, although Kenickie was a member of the gang in the original as well), Rizzo, and other characters

This has been on my mind for years. I'm just going to say it. GREASE 2 is better than the first one 😶

What's your take?

Just want to put it out there that Mr. Travolta and Ms. Newton-John (God bless her soul) are iconic in the first one. That's not a debate. But for me, I love the story from Grease 2, the main guy was a hottie (looks like he still is), and the songs. To me, it was more memorable.
