While no reason was given for his absence, a representative for the musical said in a statement, “ The Outsiders is a very demanding project. He needed time away and is returning next week. As with any long-running shows, our performers regularly take time away, when needed, to recharge and reset.”

Grant’s understudies, Josh Strobl and Trevor Wayne, have been covering the role in his absence.

Grant was Tony-nominated last season in the Best Leading Actor/Musical, losing out to Jonathan Groff ( Merrily We Roll Along ).
