Vanessa Hudgens sizzles with co-stars in 'Grease: Live' promo


HOLLYWOOD – For many, "Grease," popularized by the classic film starring Olivia Newton John and John Travolta, is the ultimate American musical.

This January 31, Fox is airing its very first live presentation and recently released its initial promo clip.

The story of summer romance told in songs by hopelessly devoted teenage characters is being touted as the network’s must-see Sunday night event.

Playing "Rizzo," the tough leader of the pink ladies, is Fil-Am actress Vanessa Hudgens.

The character is a departure from the sweet role that Hudgens became famous for in Disney’s "High School Musical" series.

The 26-year-old-actress is no stranger to the pressure of performing live as she was also one of the stars of "Rent at the Hollywood Bowl."

Meanwhile, singer-dancer-actress Julianne Hough of "Dancing with the Stars" is "Sandy."

Broadway alum and "Graceland" star Aaron Tveit who also showcased his vocal prowess in the movie "Les Miserables," is playing "Danny."

The musical was directed by Neil Patrick Harris and was staged back in 2010.

"Grease: Live" also stars Carly Rae Jepsen, Keke Palmer, and Carlos Pena Vega.
