You all remember Will Wingfield? Debbie Allen’s protege on Season 4’s So You Think You Can Dance? Many of you felt it was a travesty he didn’t make the finals that season. Will’s doing just fine–he just landed a role on Broadway:

Will Wingfield, a contestant on FOX-TV’s So You Think You Can Dance, will take over the role of Graffiti Pete in the Broadway musical In the Heights, at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, beginning on August 26. He replaces Seth Stewart in the role.
The show is directed by Thomas Kail, with choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler.
