Also, over to the right under latest headlines, check out Taylor Hicks lands B’way “Grease” role!
Uncle Hicks becomes an angel ..where is the Angel in Grease? I could see him playing, Frenchie the high school drop out and hair stylist if this was Grease in Drag. Seriously, I am sure he will contribute to the cast.
I was lucky at last minute, to get to see Grease in London (winners from their TV Grease show) last fall; and Frenchie in that cast was almost identical to the original Frenchie in every way!! The Theater was smaller, more casual, can walk in off the street and most Londoners can "afford" to attend the Theater. Smaller theater (at least the one I was in) means greater actor visibility. Full house.
Tina Turner (another post above) will debit her Broadway show in London next year, before opening in the US. I am wondering who will play her, in earlier years. May see an Idol face or two, never know.
