Olympic gymnast Danell Leyva has dreams of starring on Broadway (and not only winning a Tony, but an EGOT!) so it’s no surprise that after picking up a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics, he headed to the Great White Way to catch the high-flying musical Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark. On August 23, Leyva observed the onstage aerial stunts in Spider-Man, then headed backstage to congratulate leading man Reeve Carney and the cast—and the Broadway stars congratulated Leyva, too!
