Grease Star Talks About New York Production

We had a chance to sit down with Derek Keeling in his Grease dressing room last week.
Derek talked about his time after college when he came to New York with around $1,000 and lived on an air mattress for months as he looked for work. It looks like all the effort paid off, as now Derek is the lead in one of the most recognized shows currently on Broadway.
Derek also spoke about what it is like working with Taylor Hicks saying that Hicks is a “…very cool guy.”
