It’s Democratic, Problematic, Anti-climactic: Why, It’s Grease Casting

If there’s one thing the last presidential election proved, it’s that Americans love to vote on gay shit. It’s bizarre. They want to make Clay Aiken a pop icon, but they don’t ever want him to be able to marry – and they’ll vote in record numbers on both issues. Which is why voting to cast Broadway musicals is gonna be a big hit.

There’s only one thing that would make Grease any better. No, not more music. It’s if you got to choose the cast! And you can, thanks to NBC’s midseason entry You’re The One That We Want. Contestants compete for roles on a Broadway revival of the show, which viewers can then vote on to decide the leads.

I don’t know why they’d bother with a show like this when I’ve already got the Grease fantasy cast decided.
