VIDEO: Aaron Tveit & Julianne Hough Reveal GREASE: LIVE Audition Songs

Aaron Tveit and Julianne Hough stopped by SiriusXM radio's Entertainment Weekly Radio this week and revealed the audition songs which won them the roles of Danny and Sandy in FOX's upcoming broadcast of GREASE LIVE.

Tveit, a musical theater veteran, chose to sing "Sandy," an emotional movie from the iconic show. The actor revealed he nailed the ending falsetto verse. "We're going full for it. It was great," he shared. Hough, opted to take a different route, performing a number from her recent tour with brother Derek. "They had me just come in and meet with the director [Thomas Kail]. I didn't even prepare anything," she explains. "I didn't even sing anything Sandy related, Grease related - nothing."

GREASE: LIVE airs Sunday, Jan. 31, 2016 7:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed on FOX!
