Litz arrives to the Gershwin Theatre directly from the Wicked national tour, where he played Fiyero for more than a year and a half. He will succeed James D. Gish in the role.

The sensational show, the fourth longest-running show on Broadway, explores Oz long before Dorothy arrives with musical hits including “Defying Gravity” and “Popular.”
