ONSTAGE & BACKSTAGE: Heidi, Carey, Howie, Cheyenne, Bebe, Brenda, Derek and Ashley

Friday, I had Ashley Spencer and Derek Keeling, who play Sandy and Danny in Grease, and that night I went to go see it. That theatre was packed! They both sounded and looked great. Ashley began as a ballet dancer and during the finale she did a crazy high battement and then went right into a split! Brava! I was also impressed by Ace Young from "American Idol." He plays Kenickie, and I thought he had a great stage presence. Apparently, so did everyone else because anytime he did anything (sang, danced, blinked), the audience reacted like Paula Abdul at an open bar.
Gotta love Seth!

I love Seth. When he signed a copy of his book for me I had to spell my name for him and he laughed and said "Cheno style!" and actually wrote that in the book!

LOL That's funny, Eris. Thanks for posting it. Love seeing the positive Ace remarks.

KarenP, you have got the Hottest Avi and signature! You should post more often, just so I can stare at them. ;)

I was kinda shocked by the clip of Ace's performance at Broadway on Broadway. It explains Seth's comment quoted above. It's like he was born to do musical comedy. I think Kenickie is just a stepping stone to Danny. He has the right voice, look, presence, looseness, sexiness, electricity... His work on Idol didn't suggest any of this. Ace, Taylor, and a girl with a name, would make the touring Grease a three-star show.

Idol sorely misrepresented Ace, IMO. I'm glad more people are recognizing his talent now. smile.gif

I should hope they cast someone with a name. Otherwise what would they put in the playbill?

I personally think one AI contestant at a time in the tour is quite enough! I mean...this is the Grease Touring Show, not the Americal Idol touring show. biggrin.gif

I so wish Kirsten Wyatt would be touring. She kept me right on the edge of my seat during the show. What talent that young lady has. I hope the the touring Frenchie is as talented as Ms. Wyatt.

I really liked her too, she has so much personality.
