Hit CBS Show With Broadway Connection

“Try To Remember” is one of the most iconic songs in New York Theater history. The song comes from The Fantasticks, currently playing at the Snapple Theater Center. I’m sure no one can quite remember a time when Broadway musical theatre and celebrity reality television had such an interesting connection. At the center of the story is Nick Spangler, currently starring in The Fantasticks. He will compete on the hit CBS show The Amazing Race as part of a brother-sister team with Starr Spangler, who is a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.

The Amazing Race features teams travelling around the world on various quests, with the ultimate prize being a substantial cash reward. This is the 13th season of the Emmy-winning reality competition. Teams will travel over 30,000 miles in 23 days to countries such as Brazil, Bolivia, Russia, India and Kazakhstan. The new season starts with the Nick and Starr Spangler quest on September 28. Go out there and win one for Broadway, Nick! Follow, follow, follow!
