Rain or Shine? Check Out Burbank's Weather Forecast for Sunday's GREASE: LIVE

The show must go on as they say in the theater, and FOX has assured viewers that Sunday's broadcast of GREASE: LIVE will go on, rain or shine. While the cast and crew are fully prepared for either situation, we have no doubt that those involved are continually checking the weather reports to see if Mother Nature will be cooperating. The crew is preparing for a potential rainstorm by tenting the area above the fictional Rydell High, while golf carts are fully charged, ready to quickly transport cast members from one stage to the next.

In an interview with today's The Hollywood Reporter, GREASE LIVE EP Marc Platt shared, "We're going live rain or shine and we're excited to do so. We won't do anything that isn't safe, ever. Safety always comes first, but I'm sure we'll be fine to do the outside portions."

Platt maintains that the possibility of rain was never an obstacle as they planned for the show. "We said, 'Alright, there's certain portions we're happy to do whether it's raining or not outside,' so we're sticking to that and looking forward to Sunday. Sometimes events at high schools like at Rydell happen outside just like they do in the real world and we're fully prepared."

Taking an optimistic approach to the situation, the producer says, "That's what makes live TV exciting - the unknown! So we're going for it. It is live TV, so if you're interested to see how it looks rain or shine, tune in."

Unfortunately, as of now (Friday 10 am/ET) it appears that a downpour could potentially be in the forecast:
