Julianne received rave reviews from critics and fans alike when she played sweet-natured Sandy. 

Fox took a huge risk in re-creating the classic 1978 movie which famously starred John Travolta as Danny Zuko and Olivia Newton-John as Sandy.

The plot, which centered around the good girl and the greaser falling in love during the summer and rekindling their romance after finding themselves together again in high school needed no introduction.  

Despite a couple of technical glitches, including a sound interruption at the school dance and static noise over Hough’s rendition of Hopelessly Devoted To You, Fox’s production generally went as well as could be hoped.
