Kyle Taylor Parker has been wowing audiences on Broadway for years with his dynamic presence and a vocal tone that is both rich and bright.  KTP made his Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning smash hit musical Kinky Boots in the role of Angel. He later earned rave reviews across the country by originating the role of Lola in the musical’s first national tour (IRNE Award “Best Visiting Actor in a Musical”) before returning to Broadway to replace Billy Porter in 2015. He was in the original cast of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Broadway and starred in Smokey Joe’s Café (Chita Rivera Award) and Finian’s Rainbow Off-Broadway.  Regionally, he starred in the world premiere of My Very Own British Invasion.  KTP also appeared in Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert on NBC alongside John Legend and Sara Bareilles.  A fan of musical theater since childhood, KTP grew up in Wisconsin listening to both Broadway cast albums and Motown records – a combination that inspired him to make his solo recording debut with the release of Broadway Soul, Vol. 1 on the Broadway Records label in 2019, followed by Broadway Soul, Vol. 2 in 2021.
