Broadway Actor Jordan Litz Completes NYC Marathon Then Performs Two ‘Wicked’ Shows Same Day

Broadway star Jordan Litz accomplished an extraordinary feat on Sunday by completing the New York City Marathon in 3:40:53 then performing two Wicked shows the same day. The 37-year-old actor, who plays Fiyero in the musical, ran 26.2 miles through all five boroughs before taking the stage for 2 p.m. matinee and 7 p.m. evening performances. “Yesterday, I felt all the love on the road and on the stage,” Litz wrote on Instagram Monday. “So many people lifted me up and supported me through one of the most challenging and rewarding days I’ve ever lived.” “Thank you all for helping me make this crazy dream come true,” he added. Litz ran for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS charity. The former swimmer who qualified for 2012 U.S. Olympic trials joined Wicked’s cast in May 2023. (Story URL)
