Saw Kyle Taylor Parker tonight in Boston. PHEMONENAL. His charisma is off the charts. He has the magic. I'm generally one of those people who loves and pays special attention to the ensemble in every show but tonight I wasn't able to appreciate them because I could not take my eyes off KTP.

He certainly deserves Bway (he's done Lola there, briefly) if anyone does. Though I do like the fact that he's doing the tour -- I'd never have seen him otherwise!

Wayne Brady. Hmm. Well, I'll be curious to hear from people who see him.

"I'm just saying Todrick Hall would probably have been the best stunt casting."

I had to Google who he was. I think you need to familiarize yourself with the term "stunt cast".

They/them. "Get up the nerve to be all you deserve to be."

Todrick Hall is not stunt casting.

That's all.

I wouldn't be surprised if Brady's only with the show for 3 months(Nov. 21 - Feb. 21). The new season of Whose Line Is It Anyway? is set to start taping in March.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

That picture of him on stage is terrible. he looks so uncomfortable and has zero confidence with that pose. It's like a sad drag queen.

I don't know. I'm just not feeling anything from the picture, even the one of him onstage.

That is not a good photo! It looks photoshopped.

Was as it ever stated or does anyone know how long he is in the show for?

I think he looks great in the photos (although that wig looks a lot better on Billy)

I hope he does well. The picture isn't great, but Brady was great as Sportin' Life when the Hollywood Bowl did Porgy and Bess several years ago.

His face and pose there make him look sooooooo uncomfortable, but he looks better in the other shots.

We can't really judge him based on some preliminary photos tho.

Mr. Nowack, have you forgotten where you are??? OF COURSE they will judge him on photos.

Kyle Taylor Parker was great in Boston. He knew how to act, he sang his heart out in hold me in your heart, he danced great in everybody say yeah, and just owned the role. From what people are saying about brady, it does not seem that he can do all of those.

I appoligise for any spelling mistakes. I may be on my mobile. Clumsy fingers and small little touchscreen keys don't mixx. I try to spellcheck, but I may miss something.

Considering no one here has actually reported that they have seen him perform this role, there is no basis for judgement. Period.

I don't know if he's well cast or not, and can't KNOW until I see his performance.

Brady wanted to do the role. Porter's leaving and the producers thought it would be wise to bring in Brady for the holidays & the slower winter season. Based on his scheduled absences & when the new season of "Whose Line" is scheduled to start taping, Brady's likely with KINKY BOOTS through the end of March/early April.
