Carly Rae Jepsen Tapped To Play Frenchy In Fox's "Grease: Live!"
Carly Rae Jepsen has been tapped to join Aaron Tveit's Danny Zuko and Julianne Hough's Sandy playing the role of Frenchy in Fox's live adaptation of the musical Grease.
Also announced: You're the Worst star Kether Donohue as Jan and David Del Rio (Pitch Perfect) as T-Bird Putzie.
They all join the previously announced Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo, Keke Palmer as Lady Marty Maraschino and Carlos PenaVega as – the coveted role of Teen Angel is yet to be cast.
This live production hopes to capitalize on the success of NBC's The Sound Of Music Live, but is targeting a more adult demo, hoping to capitalize on former Glee fans in need of their "ram-a-lama-lama" fix.
Grammy nominee Jessie J will open the live musical with a new version of Barry Gibb's "Grease (Is the Word)" (the same song that was featured in the opening title sequence of the 1978 film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton John).
Grease: Live! will air on Sunday, January 31 at 7pm on Fox.
