Brit’s the “one that they want.” Britney Spears is being considered for the lead role in the Broadway musical Grease. Producers are hoping to sign the singing star for a new production of the show and the “Gimme More” singer could be stepping into the part of Sandy - the prim and proper blonde schoolgirl originally played by actress Olivia Newton John in the 1978 movie musical.
“The producers were bouncing around the idea of casting Britney in the role of Sandy,” a theater insider says.
“They’re recasting the roles in July, and they thought that Britney looked like a Sandy. She would be terrific.”
