NBC, already fulfilling the Vegas dreams of many a performer with "America's Got Talent," will try to pave a path to Broadway with a show scheduled for midseason.
Tell you more, tell you more? OK.
The show will be called "You're the One That We Want," and it will seek to find a Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski for a revival of "Grease" that opens next June, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the show's Broadway debut. Beauty school dropouts may apply, but presumably a background in musical theater would be helpful too.
I freely admit I'm a Grease fan. In 1998, by pure luck, I watched the 20th anniversary re-release of the movie with the one that I wanted in the otherwise empty Westbury Theater (now shuttered). I didn't get very far, nor did I have a car...

Looks neat, but it seems to require plugins and proxies my browser doesn't have.
