Watch Cole Horibe do his best Bruce Lee impression. Also: Abs.

So You Think You Can Dance star plays the martial arts icon in David Henry Hwang's Kung Fu



Oh snap. You saw him on the TV dance competition So You Think You Can Dance? Now see Cole Horibe channeling Bruce Lee in the world premiere of David Henry Hwang's new play Kung Fu, opening at the Signature Theatre in February. The show blends dance, martial arts, Chinese opera and drama to tell the story of the international icon, from troubled Hong Kong youth to martial arts legend.

Some first-look photos dropped a couple of weeks ago. Now here's a brief video from the photo shoot, where we get to see just a little bit of Cole getting into character, nunchucks and all:




I must see this show. Kung Fu runs February 4 through March 16, 2014, with a February 24 opening night in The Irene Diamond Stage at The Pershing Square Signature Center in New York City. Tickets are on sale now.
