YouTube star and stage alum Todrick Hall will bring a lot of razzle-dazzle to Broadway later this month in the long-running hit Chicago. The star will appear as Billy Flynn for an engagement from November 30, 2017 through January 14, 2018.
Hall makes a Broadway return after a recent run as Lola in Kinky Boots. He made his main-stem debut in the original production of The Color Purple and has also been seen on the Great White Way in Memphis. Hall's upcoming documentary, Behind the Curtain: Todrick Hall, is scheduled for release on December 12.
Hall joins a cast that includes Charlotte d'Amboise as Roxie Hart, Leigh Zimmerman as Velma Kelly, Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart, NaTasha Yvette Williams as Matron "Mama" Morton and R. Lowe as Mary Sunshine.
Featuring a book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by Kander and lyrics by Ebb, Chicago is the longest-running American musical on Broadway as well as the longest-running revival. The production features Tony-winning direction by Walter Bobbie and Tony-winning choreography by Ann Reinking.
