Joe Jonas and His Band Will Appear in Grease: Live
The pop singer and his band, DNCE, will make a cameo as Johnny Casino and The Gamblers.
Joe Jonas recently talked to Rolling Stone about DNCE making a cameo in Grease: Live as Johnny Casino and The Gamblers. DNCE grabbed the roles after producers saw them perform at a small NYC club and asked them to take part in the NBC production set to air January 31.
The Jonas talked about his love for the musical:
"It's something that I grew up watching, and my dad tells the story constantly about how he made just enough money mowing lawns so he can see both Star Wars and Grease. He says he saw both in the theater about 20 to 25 times each. Obviously growing up in the house, it was always playing."
The NBC production is set to be filled with a dizzying and eclectic cast, including Julianne Hough as Sandy, Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo, Aaron Tveit as Danny, Carly Rae Jepsen as Frenchy, and Boyz II Men as the Teen Angels.
But you haven't, check out DNCE's hit "Cake by the Ocean" yet, watch below. It'll soon be given a 50s treatment and featured in Grease:Live.
