Carly Rae Jepsen to Become a Pink Lady, Drop Out of Beauty School in Grease: Live
EntertainmentThe “live-musical-as-a-television-event” thing continues to happen, and now that American families have gobbled up The Sound of Music, Peter Pan, and The Wiz, FOX is bringing another classic to the small screen: Grease. And Carly Rae Jepsen’s just been cast as Frenchy.
Mashable reports that the musical will air on January 31st 2016 and features several other high-profile cast members aside from Jepsen—who’s just come off a successful Broadway run in Cinderella. Julianne Hough will play the role of Sandy, Aaron Tveit (best known for Next to Normal) as Danny, and Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo.
