Grease Live has finally found its Teen Angel—make that Teen Angels—with the surprise casting of Boyz II Freakin' Men.
That's right, lovers of smooth '90s R&B, the silky vocalists who've had you getting down to "Motownphilly" all these years are stepping into Frankie Avalon's shoes and sing sad Frenchy (Carly Rae Jepsen) back into good spirits with the live musical event airs on Fox on Jan. 31. The Boyz gave us a preview of their sweet harmonies with a video announcing their involvement on their Twitter page.
