Curtain Cutie: Cody Green
By Whitney Spaner
I haven’t posted a Curtain Cutie for a long time but my new crush Cody Green is the perfect one to get us back into the swing of things. I saw him recently in the new Broadway production of Grease, spawned from the first-Broadway related reality show You’re the One that I Want in which America and celebrity-ish judges picked Laura Osnes and Max Crumm to star as Sandy and Danny. (Max stopped by our interview and is also very cute!) Cody is part of the ensemble and is the understudy for Kenickie, who he will be playing on an upcoming weekend! He also is the runner-up in the hand-jive contest (pictured below). I was in awe of his amazing dance moves and charismatic facial expressions. He definitely made the show -- which I, (like most 20-somethings) have seen on stage and film a million times -- a very fresh experience!
He also has an impressive background, which includes Julliard and a starring role in the dance heavy Billy Joel musical Movin’ Out on Broadway, on tour and in London. During our pre-show interview at the Brooks-Atkinson Theater, I asked him if he could come back and dance around my living room for me. Kidding. But I did ask him these very important “get to know you” type questions.
