Taylor Hicks: Teen Idol becomes Teen Angel

The National Tour of Grease is getting ready to launch in Providence, Rhode Island on December 2 and the cast was just announced today. The National Tour will be appearing in cities across America until June 9th of 2009. Per a previous announcement, Taylor Hicks will be starring as Teen Angel, a role that he already appeared in on Broadway over the summer.

The roles of Danny and Sandy will be filled by Eric Schneider and Emily Padgett. The role of “Rizzo” will be played by Allie Schulz, who was a contestant on NBC’s “Grease: Your the One That I Want.” Other key roles will be filled as follows: Eugene will be played by Scot Patrick, William Blum will appear as Roger, Jan will be played by Bridie Carol, Kate Morgan Chadwick will be filling the role of Frenchy and other stellar artists will be performing in the key roles. The ensemble has also been expertly arranged.

Grease is the story of Sandy and Danny, who spent an incredible summer together, only to find that summer life and school life can be very different. Danny is the head of the T-Birds a gang of guys who are the “tough dudes” of their high school. And the T-Birds only go with Pink Ladies, their counterparts and the cool/tough girls at the school. Sandy is an pretty, innocent, naive girl who wears modest clothes and seems to be a better match for a jock or someone a little less “tough” than Danny. How does everything work out? Be sure to get your tickets to see the National Tour of Grease when it comes to your town. Grease National Tour Tickets are available at StubHub.com.
