If you missed Grease Live when it premiered on FOX do not worry, it’s coming to DVD so you can enjoy it anytime you want. Grease Live stars Juliann Hough as Sandy, blah as Danny, Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo and a whole cast of talented actors (and singers, because let’s be honest you have to be able to sing to be in a musical)
Taking on a classic can be a scary thing, but this cast did it with ease. We get to watch some of our favorite moments (and a few new moments) hit the screen in a new way with new faces.
About Grease Live
Featuring a young ensemble cast, GREASE LIVE! reintroduces and reimagines some of the show’s most memorable moments, great music and timeless love story to an entirely new generation. The production draws upon both the original 1971 musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey and Paramount’s 1978 feature film adaptation to create a never-before-seen version with many modern surprises.
The sensational cast includes Julianne Hough (Safe Haven, Rock of Ages) as the angelic Sandy; Aaron Tveit (“Graceland,” Les Miserables) as bad boy Danny Zuko; Vanessa Hudgens (Broadway’s Gigi, Spring Breakers) as bad girl Rizzo; Keke Palmer (“Scream Queens,” “Masters of Sex”) as sassy Pink Lady Marty Maraschino; Carlos PenaVega (“Big Time Rush”) as Kenickie; and multi-Platinum Grammy® Award-nominated singer and songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen as Pink Lady and beauty school dropout Frenchy.
The production also features special cameo appearances by multi-platinum pop superstar Joe Jonas and his pop-disco band DNCE as Johnny Casino and the Gamblers; actor and television host Mario Lopez as Vince Fontaine in the iconic high school dance scene; and Grammy Award®-winning R&B group Boyz II Men as Teen Angel, singing “Beauty School Dropout.” Plus, two stars from the original 1978 film Grease, Didi Conn (Frenchy) and Barry Pearl (Doody), also make appearances.
The GREASE LIVE! DVD Includes:
- Live television production
- Without a Net: Performing GREASE LIVE!
- Becoming the “T-Birds” and Pink Ladies
- Greasin’ up the Joint Be-Bop, Swing and Jitterbug: The Choreography of GREASE LIVE!

I can’t wait to check out the extras on the DVD that weren’t on the live show! Grease Live will be available to own on March 8, 2016. So get ready to pick up your copy and be hopelessly devoted to your tv for a few hours!
