Rewind: Grease, You're the One that I Want

Some of the best parts of FOX's American Idol are the auditions during the first few weeks. If you agree, then you'll probably like the newest reality show, NBC's Grease, You're the One that I Want as much as I do. And hey, the trip down memory lane isn't so bad either.

Hosted by Billy Bush and Denise Van Outen (yeah, I don't know who she is either), the show is casting the lead roles of Danny and Sandy in a $10 million Broadyway production. In two weeks, the final 50 will start a singing and dancing boot camp, from which 12 will graduate to vie for the top spots.

The judges are Kathleen Marshall, David Ian and Jim Jacobs and the contestants are judged in both a singing and dancing round. Auditions were held in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.

Billy Bush works well as the host, and was eerily similar to Ryan Seacrest on American Idol. Olivia Newton-John appeared several times during the episode.

During the episode, they did uncover some talented auditioners, and then there were those who you wonder about. A lot of them had really touching and interesting stories on how they ended up at the auditions ... a guy who was there in memory of his brother, a woman who was in town for a pharmaceutical convention, a tap dancing cupcake, a girl who's Dad encouraged her to sign up.

Got me hooked already.
