[MEDIA=2]The most powerful people in musical theater are on a mission: they have the stage, the lights, the money, the music, the cast and the costumes. But theyre missing one thing — the leads.
NBC will search for the next Danny and Sandy, in “Grease: You’re the One That I Want,” a new talent-competition series from BBC Worldwide Productions, where America will ultimately get to choose the two leads for a new Broadway production of the hit musical “Grease.” The new production of “Grease” is scheduled to open on Broadway in July 2007, and will be directed and choreographed by two-time Tony Award-winner Kathleen Marshall (”The Pajama Game”). Marshall also will be a judge on the series along with Jim Jacobs, the co-creator of “Grease,” and renowned theater producer David Ian. Billy Bush (Access Hollywood) and Denise Van Outen (Broadways Chicago) serve as host and co-host.
Auditions have been held nationwide to search for the next Danny and Sandy. The top performers will attend Grease Academy, where they will be trained by Marshall and professional acting, dance and vocal coaches to refine their skills. The top 12 contestants from Grease Academy will then perform each week in six live episodes, and America will decide which Danny and Sandy hopefuls will be eliminated each week.
“Grease: You’re the One That I Want” is produced by BBC Worldwide Productions. Al Edgington (”Last Comic Standing,” “The Amazing Race”), Lou Stroller (”Tomb Raider,” “The Rock,” “Scarface”) and Paul Telegdy, Senior Vice President, Programming and Production, BBC Worldwide, are the executive producers; Suzy Lamb (BBC UK’s “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?”) is co-executive producer.
