"Grease Live" is an upcoming live production of the musical "Grease" scheduled to air on Fox in 2016.
Fox spokesperson Shana C. Waterman said of the program: "From Broadway to film, and across generations, Grease is one of the most beloved musical stories ever told – and we can't wait to bring it to our air in a spectacular live event. Its iconic characters and addictive songs make it the perfect fit for Fox, and we're going to give it the kind of star power and production quality to make every Sandy, Danny, Rizzo and Kenickie out there want to get up and sing along."
