Step aside, Archie, there's a new Riverdale heartthrob in town. Casey Cott, aka Kevin Keller, recently teamed up with Broadway star Jackie Burns for the latest installment of Wicked's "Out of Oz" series, and it's pretty magical, to say the least. The two sang a mashup of "Dancing Through Life" and "The Wizard and I" from the musical, and we can't help but melt over Cott's gorgeous vocals.
His insane singing skills shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, though. Not only did he attend Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, but musical theater is in his blood. His brother, Corey, is best known for playing Jack Kelly in Newsies and originating the role of Donny Novitski in Bandstand. Seriously, can we get more of Kevin singing during Riverdale season three? Or better yet, can Cott star in the upcoming Wicked movie adaptation? Please and thank you.
