Ansel Elgort is headed back to his roots, the Broadway stage.

The actor, who trained as a dancer at just nine years old and studied for five years at the prestigious School of American Ballet, is set to make his professional dance debut in “Quadrophenia, A Rock Ballet,” based on The Who’s legendary 1973 album.

The production, directed by Rob Ashford and choreographed by Paul Roberts, will run for four performances only at the New York City Center from November 14th–16th. Ansel will take on the role of “The Godfather” in the show.

“Rock n’ Roll is not dead,” Ansel said in a statement. “I think it’s having a rebirth right now. Downtown NYC, you can hear electric guitars squealing through bar doors as people are hungry for live music. Even better, a rock ballet!”

Returning to the stage is more than just a career move for him, it’s a full-circle moment. “My roots are in ballet and theatre and to be able to return to the stage in The Who’s Quadrophenia rock ballet feels like a gift from the rock gods,” he told People. “Well, one of them himself, Pete Townshend, already wrote me a note welcoming me on board, and I’m framing it.”

Additional casting for the U.S. debut of Quadrophenia will be announced in the coming weeks, but for now, this already feels like a moment.
