Jordan Litz: Wicked's Fiyero ran the NYC Marathon...Then Performed Two Shows

from Post Run High · host iHeartPodcasts

Jordan Litz, Broadway’s longest-running Fiyero in Wicked, opens up about what it truly takes to perform one of musical theater’s most iconic roles. He shares the full story behind running the New York City Marathon and then stepping onstage for two performances the same day, the physical and emotional toll of chasing a sub-3-hour goal, and how his years as an elite swimmer shaped the discipline he brings to Wicked. Jordan also reflects on five years and 1,600+ shows as Fiyero, how different Elphabas and Glindas continually reshape the role, and what it’s been like performing as the movies reshape audience reactions. A conversation for Wicked fans and for anyone curious how top performers and athletes push their limits onstage, in training, and in life.
