OLATHE, Kan. (KCTV) - The big lights of Broadway are now shining on a young man from the Kansas City metro. Justin Cooley of Olathe, Kansas, just landed a Tony nomination! The Broadway star spoke to KCTV5 from New York City Tuesday afternoon. 'It's an amazing opportunity and an honor,' he said. 'I'm honestly still in disbelief. I mean, I was in Kansas just two years ago.' Olathe, to be exact. In fact, his journey started right on the theater stage at Olathe East High School! 'It's not a surprise to me,' said Edward Shafer, the director of theater at Olathe East.
