The ex-Grey’s Anatomy thesp, who earlier this month confirmed that he was leaving the ABC drama, has signed on to star in the upcoming Broadway revival of Lend Me a Tenor.
Knight will play the role of Max in the classic farce, which is being directed by Stanley Tucci and is scheduled to open in February 2010. Additional casting will be announced in the coming weeks.
Prior to Tenor, Knight will headline a production of Jason Robert Brown’s Tony-winning Parade at Los Angeles’ Mark Taper Forum.
Wasn’t this news a week ago?

This one gets a: Whoooooooooooooooo Cares?
I care! He’s going to be great!
T.R. Knight as Leo Frank? I love him to death, but I love Parade even more, and that’s a stretch…
that’s no matter what to that.

Actually, thinking about the character in Parade, I think it’s perfect, and he’ll be a great Leo. I wish I could see it.
Oh, and @nicotine: You did, enough to comment at least.
what a cliche for a gay guy to do broadway. No offense meant though. It would have been more exciting if he joined another show
Wow really insightful ctynee…you mean gay guys like James Galdolfini and Jeff Daniels and Jeremy Piven and Anthony Lapaglia and Kevin Kline and Ralph Fiennes and too many others to name?
A slightly bigger cliche is bringing up the gay thing in reaction to news about Broadway.
I care too. He’s going to be amazing in both plays. TR can do it all: comedy and drama.
Grey’s loss but Broadway’s gain.
And pulease. Like the other person said, a lot of heterosexual actors do Broadway.
I’ll add Hugh Jackman and Matthew Broderick to the list.
Can we leave his sexuality out of this already?
TR is great at tugging the heartstrings. Noone has ever made ma cry as much as he did when his dad died. I think he will be fantastic in Parade. Glad he got another role too.
I’m so going to see him.
LA is too far for me, but New York is just clsoe enough.
I hope he keeps getting roles. I miss him already.
I think this is great news. He started on the stage here in Minneapolis and he will probably be more satisfied on stage. In all the interviews I’ve read on him, he never seemed to enjoy television quite as much. I hope he enjoys a long and successful career!
um, who cares? isn’t this a TV blog?? he’s done
Yes, and I’m sure all of you who care will be making the voyage to New York to see TR in his plays. Didn’t think so. If you cared, you would. But you don’t. Also, this is a television blog. By the way, TR Knight turned his back on his fans by leaving Grey’s Anatomy. He wasn’t forced out, as Ausiello kindly pointed out to us. This loyalty thing is supposed to be a two way street.
