Workouts and Wings: A Day in the Life of Porgy and Bess Star Joshua Henry

Joshua Henry is one of Broadway’s brightest up-and-coming stars. The 27-year-old actor already has four Broadway credits, including In the Heights, American Idiot and a Best Actor Tony nomination for The Scottsboro Boys, plus a star turn in The Wiz at Encores! (Not bad for someone whose first stage credit was in 2006!) Henry is currently back on the boards as noble young father Jake in the hit revival of Porgy and Bess at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. The athlete-turned-actor invited Broadway.com photographer Jenny Anderson to follow him around the theater district for a day of wings, workouts, warmups and more.
