FOX enrolls at Rydell High with GREASE: LIVE, a LIVE musical production of the massively popular musical "Grease." The event will reimagine and reintroduce some of the most memorable moments, great music and timeless love story to an entirely new generation and in front of a live studio audience- a first for live television musicals. In this live television adaptation of the musical classic, the beginning of senior year means the end of Danny (Aaron Tveit, "Les Miserables") and Sandy's (Julianne Hough, "Dancing With The Stars") summer romance - until Sandy unexpectedly transfers to Danny's high school. Can Danny maintain his bad-boy image as the coolest member of the T-Birds, once he and Sandy start going together, and can Sandy remain a good girl after she joins the Pink Ladies? With their friends, Rizzo (Vanessa Hudgens, Broadway's "Gigi," "Spring Breakers") and Kenickie (Carlos PenaVega, "Big Time Rush"), pulling them in different directions, it's up to Danny and Sandy to stay hopelessly devoted as they make their way from Rydell High to a new frontier. Don't miss the all-new musical production GREASE: LIVE airing Sunday, Jan. 31 (7:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. (SP-1613) (TV-14 D, L, S, V)
