But yeah, having the AI name recognition has proven to be a recipe for Broadway ticket sales, if not album sales. Lots of deserving peeps would kill for that role.

In fact, I think Ace might be *too* purdy for that role...he may upstage Danny. ;) Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have wanted to see Constantine in that role...I don't want to see Constantine, period.

Because they both have curly dark hair? The similarities end there, if you ask me!</blockquote> True dat. If the choice is between Ace and Connie, it's an easy call for me. Besides, I think the role of Kenickie is intended to be played by someone attractive, so I think Connie would be grossly miscast.

The shows need the seats sold, and the peeps want to see their idols. I bet Ace will do great. He's not the strongest singer, but that part sings mostly with others. I think it's a good fit. And Ace looks great, and that smile--wow. you know, AI has really been helping Broadway. The shows need the seats sold, and the peeps want to see their idols.

The show had earlier trial runs in LA and Las Vegas a few years ago and was more of an ensemble piece than this production is described to be. *slinks back to lurking mode* Constatine is, essentially, originating the role for the New York run.

I hope it all works out well for him. He's a nice and talented guy. Maybe his stint on the stage will spur more sales for his CD. Congrats to Ace. I hope it all works out well for him.

Seems like a good role for him. Too bad he and Taylor didn't overlap, at least for a show or two. Two friends and I usually got to NYC every fall for a weekend. No plans so far, but maybe if we do it this year I can convince them to see Grease. Might be a hard sell. LOL. As for Connnie, I had heard second-hand about his claims that he turned it down to originate a role, but after reading MJ's link, it appears that he's not originating the role at all. *rollseyes* Sounds a bit fishy. He always acts like he's in some sort of competition with Ace. Why? Because they both have curly dark hair? The similarities end there, if you ask me! Congrats to Ace. Seems like a good role for him.
