Sandy Returns

Posted by Deanna Couras Goodson Jan 5, 2007

Olivia Newton-John, the Aussie-born songstress who rose to fame as Sandy opposite John Travolta's Danny in the motion picture Grease, will guest star on the first two episodes of the NBC reality competition, Grease: You're the One That I Want. The series debuts January 7th at 8pm EST. Bravo will air reruns of the program on Tuesdays at 6:30 pm, Wednesdays at 12 AM, Thursdays at 11 pm and Fridays at 5:30 pm so you'll have plenty of opportunities to catch it.

Newton-John, who has won multiple Grammy Awards, will offer some "words of wisdom and advice" to the people auditioning to become one of the series' twelve finalists. After the first two episodes, which go behind-the-scenes of the nationwide casting search, the series takes the remaining contestants and sends them to Los Angeles to take part in "Grease Academy."

The top 12 performers at "Grease Academy" will perform the following weeks on live episodes until America eliminates all but two performers. The winners will earn the lead roles of Danny and Sandy on Broadway. They'll be part of the cast when it re-premieres in July of 2007.
