Who Is Tony Nominee Brody Grant? Meet Broadway's Ponyboy Curtis


Broadway newcomer Brody Grant stars as Ponyboy Curtis in the musical adaptation of 'The Outsiders'

Grant noted that his path to playing Ponyboy Curtis, the youngest brother of the family, was “a long one” and didn’t include a “fancy” formal arts education. The Outsiders(1983) stars C. Thomas Howell as Ponyboy alongside Emilio Estevez, Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio and Diane Lane. While Grant looked up to vocalists like Adam Lambert and Bruno Mars growing up — “‘I would just go home, and in the dead of night, belt into pillows, ‘When I Was Your Man,'” he told Broadway.com — he credits his sister with inspiring his passion for music.
