Grease is the word!


That's right, folks. I was sitting in my room, watching a tape of my high school's production of Grease. As I was watching my friend Josh sing "Beauty School Drop-Out", I thought "Man, I can definately see JC playing this part. And wouldn't Jennifer Love Hewitt be a FABULOUS Frenchy?" So, an idea was born. Here, I have casted the musical Grease using most of today's hot pop stars.

THE T-BIRDS

Danny Zuko: Kevin Richardson (He would sing most of the guys' songs. I love hearing Kev sing, so therefore, Danny he is.)

Sonny LaTierri: Nick Lachey (Sonny tries to be tough, and looks tough, but he's really a big softy, just like our Nick.)

Roger: Justin Timberlake (Roger sings my favorite song. It's called "Mooning", and I would just love to hear Justin's soulful interpretation of that song...not to mention the amount of money I'd pay to hear Justin Timberlake say "I'm king of the mooners!")

Kenickie: AJ Maclean (Kenickie's the real tough guy. Plus, in the play, Kenickie sings Greased Lightning, and that song just SCREAMS AJ to me.)

Doody: Nick Carter (Doody's the moron of the bunch. Nick's the moron of the bunch. It all fits.)

THE PINK LADIES

Sandy Dumbrowski: Brandy Norwood (Brandy started out with that goody-two shoes image, and she's breaking away from it. Plus, her voice kicks. I'd love to hear her sing "Since I Don't Have You", which Sandy sings in the play instead of "Hopelessly Devoted to You.")

Betty Rizzo: Diana Hickman (Okay, you don't know who she is. She was Rizzo at my school, and NOBODY could do that role better than she could. I LOVE YOU DIANA!)

Frenchy: Jennifer Love Hewitt (Who wouldn't love to see Jennifer Love Hewitt with her hair dyed pink during "Beauty School Drop-Out"?)

Marty: Tatyana Ali (Tatyana's voice is perfect for "Freddy, My Love," Marty's song. Plus, she's just cute enough to pull off this part.)

Jan: Britney Spears (Okay, Jan is the character that eats all the time, but I am in no way implying that Britney is fat. When my school did this play, we cast the skinniest person in our school to play Jan as a joke. Plus, Britney says she loves to eat, so I think this role would be PERFECT for her, and she'd be cute doing it.)

THE REST OF THE CAST

Patty Simcox: Nikki DeLoach (The annoying cheerleader that everybody hates and sleeps around? Okay, so you see my point.)

Miss Lynch: Leighanne Wallace (That's right. Who could play the old hag teacher better than Brian's old hag girlfriend?)

Eugene Florczyk: Carson Daly (I love Carson Daly. I couldn't exclude him from this project, so he gets to be the geek who doesn't have to sing. I LOVE YOU CARSON!)

Vince Fontaine: Joey Fatone (Not even are the last names frighteningly similar, but Vince Fontaine is the womanizing radio DJ who hits on high school girls. Joey's dream role, anyone?)

Johnny Casino: Drew Lachey (Can't you just see little Drew Lachey entertaining the crowd and singing during the Hand Jive contest? He'd have a cute shiny gold jacket and could just SING. How fun!)

Cha-Cha DeGregorio: Jennifer Lopez (Kickin' dance moves? Yep. Acting skills? Yep. Jennifer would be PERFECT for Cha-Cha. Plus, I'd pay to see Kevin Richardson and Jennifer Lopez compete in a hand jive contest.)

Teen Angel: JC Chasez (Oh, come on! He's PERFECT! He's even got the 1950's Teen Idol HAIR! He's the ultimate Teen Angel, and his soulful rendition of "Beauty School Drop-Out" would be an INSTANT hit.)

That's it! My dream cast for the musical Grease! Hope you found that intellectually stimulating.
