IT'S THE WAY WE ARE FEELING:  With the success of The Sound of Music: Live!, Fox is getting on the bandwagon with Grease: Live! in 2015.  To answer the assured first question, they are apparently using the revised script, incorporating "Hopelessly Devoted to You," "You're The One That I Want," and the title song.  No casting is announced yet, but you have to assume that they go after Idol and Glee folks.  (Darren Criss as Teen Angel?)

    Naya Rivera is one of the best of the Glee folks and could definitely work as Rizzo.

    Stockard Channing as the Principal, Travolta in Sid Caesar's slot. And you know what would be a great idea: having a reality competition to cast Danny and Sandy.

    I know it's lazy casting, because he always comes up in this sort of wishcasting, but Timberlake would be perfect, right? He can pull off the '50s look, and completely nail "Beauty School Dropout". Maybe he's more willing to do it, as it's only one scene? It'd be a huge get.

    I could see JT doing it for NBC (where he's got an ongoing thing), but for Fox...

    Worked out fine for Laura Osnes...


    You can only cast Travolta if Idina is nowhere near this thing.

    Anna Kendrick has to be involved. Frenchie? I would say maybe even as Sandy, but I'm wavering on that.

    There's not really a role for her in there. Everyone's either a teen or an older authority figure.

    I want Green Day as Johnny Casino and the Gamblers.

    Though Frenchie doesn't get to sing much, does she? she gets sung to, but doesn't have a song herself. What about Marty, so she can sing "Freddy My Love"?
