Aaron Tveit will play Danny Zuko in Fox’s upcoming live performance of Grease, the network announced Thursday. What’s that, you say? Tell you more, tell you more? Well-ah, well-ah, well-ah: Tveit joins a cast that includes Julianne Hough as Sandy, Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo, and Big Time Rush’s Carlos PenaVega as Kenickie. Grease will be the first time Tveit, a Broadway veteran, has sung onscreen since 2012’s Les Misérables. It is not known whether he has a car.
