The nationwide auditions to find the next Danny and Sandy aired during the reality series first two broadcasts, which saw hopefuls in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York singing and dancing for the show's three regular judges -- Tony Award-winner director and choreographer Kathleen Marshall, Grease co-creator Jim Jacobs and theater producer David Ian.
In last night's episode, those who made it through the auditions found themselves at "Grease Academy," where they were trained by professional acting, dance and vocal coaches and did some more singing and dancing. The judges then selected six Dannys and six Sandys for the finals.
