Panic! At the Disco's Brendon Urie Will Star in Broadway's Kinky Boots

The Grammy nominee will make his Broadway debut beginning in May.

Panic! At the Disco frontman Brendon Urie will make his Broadway debut in Kinky Boots. He’ll assume the role of Charlie Price beginning May 26, taking over for Olivier Award nominee Killian Donnelly. He’ll play a limited engagement through August 6 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

“I’m thrilled to be making my Broadway debut with this fantastic company,” Urie said in a statement. “I’m a huge fan of Kinky Boots and musical theatre, and am honored to be joining this cast.”

Their music can be heard on the soundtracks of such films as Jennifer’s Body, The Smurfs, and Suicide Squad.

Harrison Ghee as Lola and Taylor Louderman as Lauren, as well as Daniel Stewart Sherman, Shannon O’Boyle, Marcus Neville, Sean Patrick Doyle, Kevin Smith Kirkwood, Fred Odgaard, Kyle Post, Eric LaJuan Summers, Hernando Umana, Adinah Alexander, Eugene Barry-Hill, Stephen Berger, Damien Brett, Devin Trey Campbell, Christopher Convery, Holly Davis, Jesus Del Orden, Stephane Duret, Christy Faber, Mia Gentile, Blair Goldberg, Natalie Joy Johnson, Jake Katzman, Jeff Kuhr, Ross Lekites, Eric Leviton, Ellyn Marie Marsh, John Jeffrey Martin, Michael Milkanin, Nathan Peck, Jennifer Perry, and Stephen Tewksbury.
