News Danny and Sandy Sing Music of the Night as Grease Returns to NBC with Guest Lloyd Webber NBC's "Grease: You're the One That I Want" returns live Feb. 11 with composer Andrew Lloyd Webber appearing as a guest judge.

The British impresario joins Grease creator Jim Jacobs, director- choreographer Kathleen Marshall and British producer David Ian on the judges panel of the reality competition series. The Broadway-themed, two-hour live episode airs 7-9 PM (ET). Check local listings.

The results of America's voting will be revealed and the first Sandy and Danny hopefuls will be cut. The remaining 12 finalists will perform — half of the contestants singing songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals and the other half from other popular musicals.

Among Lloyd Webber's musicals include Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Song & Dance, Cats, Starlight Express, The Phantom of the Opera, Aspects of Love, Sunset Boulevard, Whistle Down the Wind and The Woman in White. The composer served as judge on BBC's similar "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?" competition show.
