Panic! At the Musical? Brendon Urie Set to Make Broadway Debut in Kinky Boots
My angsty teenager dream come true!
Panic! at the Disco frontman, Brendon Urie, is all set to star in the Tony Award-winning musical Kinky Boots this summer!
The bi-sexual star will make his acting and Broadway debut as Charlie Price, a guy who inherits his father's shoe factory and enlists the help of a drag queen named Lola to save the company.
I know what you're thinking. Is Urie ready for Broadway? Don't panic. The dude has pipes.
You don't have a 12-year career for nothing.
The timing of Urie's Kinky Boots run couldn't be more perfect, as Panic! at the Disco's tour for their grammy-nominated album, Death of a Bachelor, wraps up this April.
In a Facebook video to his fans, Urie expressed his excitement for the role. "This has been on my bucket list for the longest time and it really is a dream come true." He jokingly added, "plus you guys get to see me in those heels now."
The angsty emo teenager I thought I'd buried deep down inside is brimming with excitement. Now excuse me while I listen to "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" on repeat for a few hours.
