Todrick Hall (Midnight, Burlesque, Kinky Boots) - INTERVIEW


Listen Later

Mickey-Jo finally had the chance to sit down with multi-hyphenate stage star, social media personality and musical theatre superfan Todrick Hall, ahead of a performance of his new musical, MIDNIGHT.


The show, currently concluding a sold out workshop run at Sadler's Wells East, is the second London project which Todrick has appeared in, in addition to serving as writer, director, and choreographer.


In this overdue interview, they chat about his Broadway beginnings, the role that challenged him the most, what inspired Midnight, and the truth about the behind the scenes drama at BURLESQUE last year.


Check out what he had to say...
