Britney Spears may be getting herself some Summer Lovin’ – She’s been tipped to play the role of Sandy on a Broadway stage version of Grease.

Following the lead of Katie Holmes, who will be treading the boards in All My Sons, the Toxic singer is said to be considering the female lead in the hit musical.

The singer proved her acting credentials with a highly successful stint in sitcom How I Met Your Mother and was recently linked with a move to the London stage.

Spears was reportedly in talks to star in a West End production of Tennessee Williams' play A Streetcar Named Desire, playing the lead role of Blanche DuBois.

A source tells newspaper Metro: "The producers (of Grease) were bouncing around the idea of casting Britney in the role of Sandy.

"They're recasting the roles in July and they thought that Britney looked like a Sandy. She would be terrific."
