Ace Young: Go Grease Lightning!

Former American Idol heartthrob Ace Young prepares for his Broadway debut in the musical Grease at New York City’s Brooks Atkinson Theatre on Thursday, September 11.

In the Tony-nominated revival, the 27-year-old star will step into the role of Kenickie, best buddy to the male lead, Danny Zuko, through Jan. 18, 2009.

American Idol winner Taylor Hicks has been playing the role of Teen Angel since June and had his final performance earlier this week.
