Birmingham's Taylor Hicks, the former "American Idol" winner now starring in the national tour of "Grease," met Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper after a performance last week.

Hicks met Harper at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, Ontario.

Hicks, who plays Teen Angel, and the "Grease" company come to Birmingham Sept. 22-27 via Broadway Across America -- Birmingham.

While here, Hicks has two shows planned -- Sept. 25 and 26 at 8 p.m. at the WorkPlay Theatre. Tickets are $25 and available through www.workplay.com. Note: Hicks will not take the stage at WorkPlay until after his performances in "Grease," so he'll go on sometime after 10.

Tickets to "Grease" are being sold through Ticketmaster.
