As for the cast, before beginning “Floyd Collins,” Jordan will conclude his run as the titular role in “The Great Gatsby.” He received a Tony nomination for his leading turn as Jack Kelly in 2012’s “Newsies.” His other Broadway credits include “Bonnie and Clyde,” “Rock of Ages,” “West Side Story,” “Waitress” and “American Son.”

Talk of Jordan's involvement spiked Tuesday when producers of Broadway's The Great Gatsby announced the actor would soon be departing that show.

The musical, written by Tina Landau with music and lyrics by Adam Guettel, is based on the true story of a cave explorer trapped underground in Kentucky in 1925.

Jeremy Jordan will star in the Broadway premiere of Floyd Collins this spring. Jordan, who is currently starring in The Great Gatsby on Broadway, with other credits including Newsies and Smash, will lead a cast that includes Jason Gotay as Homer Collins,
