Britney to star in 'Grease' on Broadway?

Theatre bosses are considering asking Britney Spears to star in a new production of Grease.

The popstar may be cast in the role of Sandy in the Broadway musical.

A source told Metro: "The producers were bouncing around the idea of casting Britney in the role of Sandy.

"They're recasting the roles in July and they thought that Britney looked like a Sandy. She would be terrific."

Spears has been praised by cast members for recent cameos in US sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

She is also rumoured to be lining up a £5 million Las Vegas residency.
