Fox just announced it’s airing a live musical production of Grease next year, because Fox is hopelessly devoted to musical theater (and to the big bucks brought in by NBC’s Sound of Music Live). And with all the young talent on Glee, Fox picked the perfect show to highlight the actors they already have.
No cast is attached yet, but here’s our dream lineup at Rydell High:
Sandy:
Obvious choice: Taylor Swift
We want: Amanda Seyfried or Zendaya
Anyone but: Carly Ray Jepsen
Danny:
Obvious choice: Zac Ephron
We want: Darren Criss of Glee
Anyone but: Justin Bieber
Rizzo:
Obvious choice: Rihanna
We want: Rebel Wilson
Anyone but: Miley Cyrus
Kenickie:
Obvious choice: Harry Styles
We want: Dean Geyer of Glee
Anyone but: Chris Brown
We’ve got the rest of the cast nailed down, too. Samantha Barks of Les Miserables should play Marty, Joan Cusack should play Principle McGee and Pharrell should play the Teen Angel who sings “Beauty School Dropout.”
