Also, how did he walk through so much of Times Square in Lola's boots and this info is only now brand-new?

Never heard of him until I just googled him. I guess I'm old.

Also it's November, not September.

I can't find the tweet either.

Maybe he was supposed to take over for Brady in April and something fell through.

It's on the show's Facebook page, so it must be official.

So in other words, if you want to see KINKY BOOTS, do it before November.

This is perfect casting!!!! I've wanted him to play Lola for quite some time. I can't believe it's finally happening!

I can't wait to see the Disney parody song they replace "Sex is in the Heel" with!

He'll dress up as Ursula and sing "The Sex Is In My Eels"

Not starting until November 1. For 5 months.

He'll be great in the role, but his personality leaves much to be desired. I'm surprised they haven't offered the role to Alex Newell of Glee fame yet.

I'm not a huge fan, but he's very talented! He'll make a great Lola. He'll be on "Drag Race All-Stars" as a judge, so maybe there'll be some tie-in?

All-Stars filmed months and months ago, probably before this was ever even in talks.

So much for the Hirschfeld opening up this winter. I wonder how many of his 2.2 million subscribers will see the show.

I'm interested to see this. He definitely has the stage presence for it.

This made me laugh out loud.

I agree with ClumsyDude, I think Alex Newell would be great as Lola.

Maybe he can do a Dance Moms performance where all the girls and Abby Lee Miller appear on stage. That's honestly how I know of him.

I'm not super familiar with him besides a couple parody videos on youtube. Can someone explain why he's so disliked? Gracias!

People may only know him from his youtube videos and assume he's not a serious actor or performer, or perhaps people think it's stunt casting. The truth is he is perfect for Lola and I can't wait to see what he's going to do with the role!

I saw him in Straight Outta Oz at the theatre I work at and while the production values were nothing to write home about the cast was great and Todrick does have quite a bit of stage presence as mentioned above. His persona is appropriate for Lola. I don't see why his casting would be a problem.

I don't know him and can't say anything about him as an actor, singer etc. if he does have 2.2 million followers, that may have had an impact on casting. I've heard it can make a difference for TV/film.

I hope it isn't crossing over to theatre now. Though we've had tv "stars/celebs" stunt casting for a long while so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at social media 'stars' coming over. Ah well.
