Olivia, 71, shared a sweet photo of the longtime friends in ensembles inspired by their iconic roles.

“First time in costume since we made the movie! So excited!!” she captioned the Instagram snap of her and John, 65, holding hands.

The “Meet ‘N Grease” movie sing-along event took place Friday night at the Coral Sky Amphitheater in West Palm Beach.

Fans got to sing along with the film’s legendary soundtrack and even ask the famous Pink Lady and T-Bird questions during a Q & A session afterward.

Olivia and John had reunited for the first time in years at a 40th anniversary screening of the film at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in August 2018, E! News reported.

The pair – who are close pals – have collaborated multiple times since the film’s release in 1978.

They starred alongside each other in the 1983 rom-com Two Of A Kind and made an appearance in Michael Jackson’s music video Liberian Girl in 1987.

The singers recorded a joint Christmas album for charity in 2012, This Christmas, as well as a music video for one of the album’s tracks, I Think You Might Like It.

HBO Max greenlighted a TV spin-off series based on the classic film in October titled Grease: Rydell High.

The TV musical produced by Paramount television will still be set in the 1950s and feature some of the same characters while offering a fresh take on the original.

However, fans are split on whether the new show will live up to its movie predecessor.

Until then, we’ll be reliving memories of Sandy and Danny’s wonderful summer nights.
