The '50s are about to be back and coming to your TV screens live! Grease is the latest live musical to be picked up after the success of NBC's Sound of Music with Carrie Underwood and Stephen Moyer back in December 2013. Fox has announced it will air the production sometime in 2015.
No casting announcements have been made, but naturally, Broadway fans are desperate to know who will fill the lead roles of high school sweethearts Sandy and Danny—most memorably played by Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta in the beloved 1978 film.
A few names come to mind when looking to fill the shoes of the blonde goodie goodie and the tough guy greaser. For example, wouldn't Pitch Perfect's Anna Camp make the ideal innocent Sandy opposite real-life boyfriend and Pitch Perfect costar Skylar Astin as leather-clad bad boy Danny? Or maybe a professional singer like Taylor Swift (a country superstar, just like Underwood) is the way to go; Swift's Danny could be one of her famous exes, but we'd do anything to see Zac Efron don the T-Birds uniform.
Another Sandy option is sweet-faced Nickelodeon star Ariana Grande, who has plenty of experience as both an actress and a singer; for her love interest, how about another rising recording artist like Austin Mahone or Cody Simpson? Here's one radical suggestion: No one knows how to go from innocent to bad girl like Miley Cyrus! Is Hannah Montana the right fit for sweet Sandy?
