Crumm will play Danny Zuko and Osnes will be Sandy Dumbrowski, the lead roles in the $10 million revival of "Grease," opening on Broadway this summer.

The winners, chosen by audience votes, were announced Sunday during the final episode of the NBC reality series "Grease: You're the One That I Want."

"Whoa!" yelled Crumm, 21, when his name was announced. "I can't believe this. Whoa!" The performer, originally from Phoenix, moved to Los Angeles three years ago.

Osnes matched Crumm in her enthusiasm. "This is my dream come true," grinned the 20-year-old from Eagan, Minn., a Minneapolis suburb.

The twosome edged out Austin Miller and Ashley Spencer for the roles of the swivel-hipped greaser and the poodle-skirt-wearing good girl in the musical celebration of high school in the 1950s.

The musical opens Aug. 19 at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, with preview performances beginning July 24.

The television series premiered in early January with nearly 60 hopefuls, chosen by the judges from auditions in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Voting by television viewers began later in the series after the number of performers had been winnowed down to 12 contestants -- six men and six women.

The three judges were the show's Broadway producer David Ian, "Grease" co-creator Jim Jacobs and Pittsburgh native Kathleen Marshall, who will direct and choreograph the Broadway revival. Last season, Marshall directed the hit Broadway production of "The Pajama Game," starring Harry Connick Jr.

"Grease: You're the One That I Want" was modeled after the wildly successful British Broadcasting Corp. show "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?" and its quest to find a young woman to star in a London revival of "The Sound of Music." The winner, Connie Fisher, and the production were embraced by both the critics and audiences when the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical opened there in November.

The upcoming revival of "Grease" will be its third Broadway production. The original, which opened in 1972, played for more than 3,000 performances. The second, featuring Rosie O'Donnell as Rizzo, arrived some two decades later, for a run of more than 1,500 performances.

The 1978 film, starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, was one of the most successful movie musicals of all time.

The revival will feature songs from both the stage and screen versions of the musical.

Trio journey to 'Oz' remake

Neal McDonough has signed on to become a friend of Dorothy.

The former "Boomtown" actor, Raoul Trujillo and Kathleen Robertson are the latest names to join the Sci Fi Channel miniseries "Tin Man," based on L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," according to The Hollywood Reporter. They join Zooey Deschanel, Alan Cumming and Richard Dreyfuss, who already have been cast.

In the reimagining of the classic tale, the young woman DG (Deschanel) is snatched up and thrust into the O.Z., where she joins forces with the half-brained man Glitch (Cumming), the wolverine-like Raw (Trujillo) who seeks courage and the emotionally scarred, heroic Cain (McDonough), who was once part of the police force known as Tin Men. They journey along the Old Road to seek the help of the Mystic Man (Dreyfuss), who holds the key to revealing her destiny, which is strangely tied to the wicked Azkeadellia (Robertson). During the final showdown, DG's life and the future of O.Z. itself hang in the balance.

Production on this psychedelic and twisted update will begin this month in Vancouver. Sci Fi is shooting for a December premiere. (Zap2it.com)
