Grease: Live Releases New Cast Photos and Ups the Live Musical Ante

Fox released the first photos of the full Grease: Livecast and, judging by these shots, the gang will be ready to nail the live musical when it airs in January.

But that's not the only update Fox unveiled about the musical on Monday: The show, which stars Julianne Hough as Sandy, Keke Palmer as Marty Maraschino and Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo, will go on in front of a live audience.

It's an interesting development for sure and one surefire way to raise the stakes after the overwhelmingly positive response to NBC's production of The Wiz Live!
