Todrick Hall's Kinky Replacement?

I just saw Todrick Hall is leaving Kinky Boots March 5th (at least according to the announcement articles when he took over the role). Does anyone know per chance if he is extending and if not who the next Lola might be? Was hoping to catch the show when I am next in the city April 1. Thanks!

I don't think he will extend as he is doing his straight outta oz tour again

I saw him back in 2015 when he temporarily replaced Kyle Taylor Parker (he covered Billy on Broadway). It was only his first week and he was outstanding! I really love him in the role.

Was hoping he'd replace Hall. Congrats! I've heard nothing but raves for his Lola. Wonder who's replacing him on the tour?

If he played Tampa -- I don't have a playbill handy -- then I saw him twice on the road, in Boston and then in Tampa.  I thought he was great, on par with Billy Porter and actually funnier.

That's so exciting for Ghee! I saw him in the tour last January! I'm only bummed I won't get to see him on tour again this June!
