Cody Simpson is now officially a Broadway star.
The 21-year-old Australian singer played Dimitry in the Broadway musical adaptation of the classic Russian tale Anastasia at the Broadhurst Theatre in New York on Thursday.
Simpson replaces Zach Adkins, who last played the role of Dimity on Sunday. Christy Altomare currently stars in the lead role of Anastasia in the play, which is about the Romanov princess of the same name from St. Petersburg, Russia who sets out on a journey to discover the truth about her past. Anastasia was also made into a 1997 animated 20th Century Fox film in which Meg Ryan provided the voice of the titular princess.
