New reality show is wall-to-wall Grease, for better or worse | Harrison Scott Key

Anybody who's done a lot of karaoke can tell you, if you want to get the party started, just bring up 20 of your closest friends for an electrifyingly off-key interpretation of Grease's "Summer Nights." By the time you're knee-deep in the "Tell me more, tell me more!" chorus, you'll have the entire room on its feet, either singing along or heading to the car. That's what Grease does for people. They love it or hate it.

Same goes for the new reality show that's looking to cast the leads in a Broadway revival of Grease, called Grease: You're the One That I Want (NBC, Sundays, 8:00 EST).

David Ian, a powerhouse theatrical producer from London, is looking for a new "Danny" and "Sandy" for the show, and he's accompanied by Tony Award-winning director Kathleen Marshall and Jim Jacobs, the co-writer of the original Grease musical.
