VIDEO: Aaron Tveit Talks GREASE: LIVE: 'I Want to Make It My Own'

Broadway's Aaron Tveit stopped by this morning's TODAY on NBC to talk about preparing for his upcoming role as Danny Zuko on FOX's broadcast of GREASE: LIVE! "It's a blend of approaching it like you're doing a play and then once we get on set, kind of re-setting everything you are doing specifically for their camera shots," explained the actor. "It's an interesting marriage between the two worlds."

Watch today's appearance in full below:
