Broadway star Jordan Litz was one of the over 50,000 people who ran on Sunday in New York City for the world’s largest marathon. But his day didn’t end once he crossed the finish line. After he got his medal, the actor headed to the Gershwin Theater for the 2 p.m. performance of "Wicked," where he stars as Fiyero. Then, he did the whole show over again at 7 p.m. Prior to running the race, Litz did joke that marathon training “has been detrimental” to his onstage capacity. “It has not helped. Most days I come in and my legs are jelly,” he said with a laugh. “But I’ve done the show in every condition possible, with my knee hurting, my ankle hurting, my voice hurting… It has made the show not scary, in that, oh my gosh, I just ran 22 miles. All I have to do now is play Fiyero on Broadway. That seems so easy compared to what I just did. So from a mental standpoint, I feel like I can conquer the world because of all this training.” Read more at the link in bio.
