Question:

Taylor Hicks hams it up in 'Grease'

Taylor Hicks hams it up in 'Grease' - Let's just get it out of the way - American Idol star Taylor Hicks delivers a perfectly acceptable performance as Teen Angel in the touring production of Grease that just hand-jived its way into the Hippodrome Theatre.

It's true that Hicks hams it up so much, he should be served with a jar of mustard. He turns his back to the audience and wiggles his butt, he rolls his eyes skyward like one of Raphael's winged cherubs, and he even gets off a few licks on his harmonica.

But subtlety isn't necessarily an asset in performing a role as inherently kitsch as Teen Angel. And Hicks' fans in the audience lapped up his performance, cheering for their idol far more loudly than they did for the show's putative stars.

The 32-year-old Silver Fox became famous by winning the fifth season of Idol in 2006.
