This article caught my interest because I haven’t heard of Todrick Hall in quite a while. The last time I heard about him was probably in elementary school when he did With the girls on Dance Moms. I think it’s really really cool that he’s creating the first black owned theatrical performance rates company. I didn’t really realize that these companies were a thing, but I think it’s great that he’s adding more diversity into the theater industry. I knew he wrote music, but I did not know that he wrote original musicals. I was so shocked to see all of the people being featured on his original cast recordings. He has a lot of Broadway stars in it and honestly, I did not realize that he was at that level. I’m really excited to hear his music. I know that it’s gonna be great because the people singing it are amazing but I am a little bit skeptical because the title sounds dumb and all honesty and it sounds like a lot of remakes so we will see.
YES He Did!! I have been following this story for a while, I actually read this article when it came out and am so glad to see it posted on here for others to read although sadly only Luna read it but still. Yes, I know Todrick has quite the controversy and I completely understand that, however, I will stand by him bc while he doesn’t know this, he stood by me. His music allowed me to find and discover who I was and for that I am forever thankful. I have already listened to Cinderella Rock and OZ the Musical and here is my honest review. On the first listen of both I was not the biggest fan however, I have now listened to both of them on repeat and I can confirm that there are some bangers. Overall, love Todrick, so proud of him, and go support the FIRST Black-Owned Theatrical Performing Rights Company. That is crazy that it took this long but now it's here so go support it.
