We are huge fans of Todrick Hall here at Instinct and now we get to see him on Broadway! Congrats Todrick!
Producers Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig announced today that Todrick Hall will join the Broadway company of Kinky Boots as ‘Lola’ in the Tony Award-winning musical, beginning November 1, 2016 through March 5, 2017.
Hall, an internationally known YouTube personality and Broadway actor who just finished a sold-out national tour of his show Straight Outta Oz, succeeds the Award-winning Alan Mingo, Jr. in Kinky Boots, now in its 4th smash year at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre (302 West 45th Street).
“We’re so thrilled to have Todrick join the company and get to show off his incredible talent to Broadway audiences,” producers Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig said. – broadwayworld.com
We know the talent is there, now let’s see if those kinky boots fit. From Todrick’s YouTube Page, todrickhall , we get this video.
Todrick adds:
When I was 20 years-old I had the honor of making my Broadway debut in “The Color Purple.” Since then I have had the opportunity to travel the world, work for my idol Beyoncé, compete on American Idol, star in my own show on MTV, and perform in my own International concert tours… but my heart still belongs to Broadway. I am so unbelievably excited to announce that this Holiday season I will be joining the cast of the Tony Award winning Broadway musical, “Kinky Boots.” Beginning November 1st, I will be stepping into the heels of Lola, a role originally created by one of my biggest inspirations and dearest friends, Billy Porter.

We will be ther front and center! Break a leg! just not a heel.
