Grant will share the stage with Isabelle McCalla, who will bring Marlena to life. If you forgot, Water for Elephants is based on the novel of the same name from Sara Gruen.

Speaking to EW, the actor made it clear that he was thrilled to head to the stage.

“This was my original dream as a kid,” he gushed. “I started tap dancing first as an 8-year-old and then theater at 10, and this is where I always wanted to be.”

He continued, adding, “It’s very surreal and exciting and terrifying and all the appropriate emotions. I’m beyond thrilled to join the company. I can’t wait to start rehearsals and meet everybody and get on stage again.”

Grant delivered several iconic musical numbers while on Glee. Perhaps most notable was his duet version of Michael Jackson‘s “Smooth Criminal” with Naya Rivera.
