Ahead of the first Broadway preview of Water For Elephants next week, the former The Flash star sat down on the TODAY Show to discuss making his Broadway debut. Grant Gustin says he is leaving most of the big stunts to the trained circus performers in the show, he does have 'some moving, some hanging' towards the end of the show. Watch the video!

The Addams Family, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family– a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before– keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. Performances run Feb. 16, 17, 23, 24, @ 7:30pm and Feb. 18, 25, @ 2pm at Columbus Performing Arts Center, Van Fleet Theatre, 549 Franklin Ave, Columbus, Ohio 43125.
