In 2007, Doreck was one of the final 12 contestants on Grease: You're the One That I Want!, a televised competition to choose the leads for the revival of Grease by Kathleen Marshall. On duet night (February 18, 2007), Doreck performed alongside fellow competitor Allie Schulz. The two were both praised for their chemistry and for their high-energy performance; judge David Ian referred to their performance as "theatrical Viagra".

On February 25, 2007, he was in the bottom four along with Kevin. The judges chose to save Doreck, putting him in the final four male contestants competing for the lead role of Danny Zuko. On March 11, 2007, Doreck was eliminated from the competition. His performances included:

  1. "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley
  2. "Signed Sealed Delivered" by Stevie Wonder
