Todrick Hall: Haus Party Tour - Raymond Helkio - MyGayToronto
Todrick Hall: Haus Party Tour 25 Oct 2019. -
If you haven’t heard of Todrick Hall, you’re in for a sweet surprise. He’s behind some of the fiercest tracks that combine his bold, over-the-top persona and choreography with equally unapologetic lyrics. With three number one albums and over three million YouTube subscribers, Todrick is taking queendom to a whole new level.
As a recurring judge and resident choreographer on RuPaul’s Drag Race Todrick has also been on Broadway including Kinky Boots, Chicago, The Color Purple and Memphis. He has choreographed videos for Beyoncé; written and starred in the Virgin America safety video, was featured in Taylor Swift’s record-breaking music video “Look What You Made Me Do” and most recently he starred in/co-executive produced her latest video “You Need to Calm Down.” Todrick can also be seen on the television shows, Queer Eye, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Dear White People, Bring It, Dance Moms, Catfish, Bob’s Burgers, American Idol, Muppet Babies and is the star of the Netflix documentary Behind the Curtain.
Todrick is currently on a tour that passes through Toronto on November 5, 2019 at The Phoenix Concert Theatre. It’s a pricey event at $79 a ticket but at least you are guaranteed to leave having been thoroughly entertained. Todrick’s personality is larger-than-life and in many ways unpredictable, which is what makes him so compelling.
While most musicians are zigging, he’s zagging his fanny all over the charts, taking up huge amounts of space as an out queer artist which makes his performances brave, if not morally courageous. But all of this has become a backdrop to the latest allegations from former disgruntled employees of his. In any event, the music is still genius and a whole lot of fun to watch so if you can’t afford the ticket price for his show, grab yourself a glass of bubbly and subscribe to his YouTube channel for a solid bout of ferociousness. Enjoy.
