Todrick Hall is known for a ubiquitous YouTube presence, the epic “Straight Outta Oz” visual album, judging and choreographing for RuPaul’s Drag Race, and countless pop hits including the newly remixed “Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels” with Ciara — and he’s back on Broadway, stealing the show at WAITRESS on Broadway, as the quirky, elfish, history-nerd Ogie. Hardly his first Broadway rodeo, Waitress is Todrick’s fifth Broadway role — he starred in the original production of The Color Purple way back in the early 2000s, before the world-at-large got to know him on American Idol season 9. He has since been seen in Memphis, Chicago, and starring as Lola in Kinky Boots — which is when we first become friends. Todrick is a big-hearted, unapologetic, awe-inspiring figure who dreams big and somehow manages to achieve bigger every time.
