Canada showed up on a grand scale this week for the opening of "Grease" in Ottawa!

The Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, escorted his young daughter and her friend to the Opening Night’s full house performance at the National Arts Centre. Taylor and the cast met the Prime Minister and his guests after the show.

The highly regarded, nationally distributed Canadian newspaper, the Globe and Mail reported the event:

"Hot: Stephen Harper. The Prime Minister took his daughter, Rachel, and her pal, Sheetza McGarry, to the National Arts Centre's Thursday-night performance of Grease. Taylor Hicks, the 2006 American Idol winner, plays the Teen Angel role. During one of his songs he did a little shout-out to the PM, telling the audience to behave because the Prime Minister was among them. The crowd applauded." (Canada - Globe and Mail)

Thanks, Canada!
