GREASE is still the word…well, according to Fox it is. News broke today surrounding the network’s plan to create a live broadcast of the classic movie musical, set to air some time in 2015.
Featuring an ensemble cast (yet to be announced), the three-hour live production will follow in the footsteps of the original 1971 Broadway musical and the 1978 film, directed by Randal Kleiser and starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. Grossing around $400 million at the global box office, it’s no surprise Fox have selected the classic, especially as NBC’s The Sound Of Music Live went down so well. I mean, who doesn’t want to sing/scream the lyrics of Summer Nights in the comfort of their own living room?!
Now, I wonder if they can get Travolta to feature? Maybe not, especially after his recent Oscar appearance.
Who would you like to see as part of the cast? Let us know.
