As BroadwayWorld reported yesterday, Todrick Hall will join the Broadway company of Kinky Boots as 'Lola' in the Tony Award-winning musical, beginning November 1, 2016 through March 5, 2017. Hall, an internationally known YouTube personality and Broadway actor who just finished a sold-out national tour of his show Straight Outta Oz, succeeds the Award-winning Alan Mingo, Jr. in Kinky Boots, now in its 4th smash year at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre (302 West 45th Street).

Hall will serve as a guest judge on the upcoming season of "RuPaul's All Stars Drag Race." He has appeared on Broadway in shows like The Color Purple and Memphis, and rose to fame as a contestant on the 9th season of "American Idol," where he was a semi-finalist and garnered millions of fans. Since then, he has become an international personality, with millions of dedicated YouTube fans, and 655,000 Instagram followers (@todrick)

Todrick is no stranger to Broadway, but it's YouTube where he has made the biggest impression on the world. Need a refresher on some of his most genius videos? Check out a collection of our favorites below!
