Brody Grant is having a breakout Tony season for the books.

Hinton’s classic book and the Francis Ford Coppola film. It’s hisGrant was born in Rapid City, Mich.
“It’s weird, crazy divine timing. It’s only thanks to that, that the show was able to stick around and then try again. And I was able to reaudition, and then I was cast as Soda Pop, and then things changed, things evolved and grew, and the show changed, and they asked me to audition for Pony, and now here we are.”book for her,” he says, “and she was in love with the movie cast. She had all the movie actors up on her locker.
She gave him a copy of the book when he was a freshman in high school, and though he wasn’t much of a reader at the time he couldn’t put it down. It’s especially moving to him now to see teenagers with their parents at the show, given the role it played between him and his own family. “It’s just like it was for me — ‘The Outsiders,’ the entity, kind of bonded me and my mom. It’s just one of those things that we both loved,” he says. “I have multiple interactions like that, and then you have the nice people that just genuinely love it. I mean, it’s a gift to be in a show where people are coming back. Sometimes it’s their third, fourth, fifth show, and people find something new in it every time. So yeah, it’s been special.
Given his schedule, Grant hasn’t been able to check out any other shows this spring, though he quickly rattles off the names of several he’s dying to see. Such is the blessing then of Tony nominations time: plenty of opportunity to mingle with one another.is it really is a community of artists, in a way that’s very unique,” Grant says.
