After a sold-out national tour of his show Straight Outta Oz and over 400 million views on YouTube, Todrick Hall will be putting on his thigh-high, candy red “Kinky Boots” as he takes on the role of “Lola” in the Broadway smash hit musical.

Virgin America’s new pre-flight video starring American Idol’s Todrick Hall

American Idol finalist Todrick Hall stars in Virgin America’s newest pre-flight safety video. And what a video this is!

The rapping flight attendants on Southwest have NOTHING on this production.

From the video description: Buckle up to get down. We’ve enlisted the help of Virgin Produced, Director Jon M. Chu, Choreographers Jamal Sims and Christopher Scott, Virgin America teammates, and dance stars like Todrick Hall and Madd Chadd to give our safety video a new song and dance — literally. From the exit doors to the oxygen masks, no seat belt was left unbuckled.

In related news, Todrick recently released his “Spell Block Tango” video complete with Disney villains for Halloween. Check it here if you missed it.

Spell Block Tango by Todrick Hall

From Todrick Hall:

The real Divas of Disney have collaborated with yours truly to give you a very special Halloween gift.

Thank you so much to Adam Lambert, Shoshana Bean, Cassie Scerbo, Amber Riley, Blake McGrath, Kimberly Cole and Pia Toscano for lending me your talents.

Special thanks to the dancers, Drew Reese, Peter Gill, Chester Lockhart, Davis Rahal, Steven Dehler, Jared North, Hondo Tey, Noelle Boney and Aaron McGuire.

And a HUGE thank you to Jean-Yeves a.k.a. Jeeve Ducournet for doing the music, producing and recording.

I have always had a strange fascination with the Disney villains’ side of the classic fairy tales and now through the music of Chicago you’ll get to hear their stories.

“Cinderfella” by American Idol Todrick Hall

I love creative people who don’t wait for a project to be handed to them.

Season 9 American Idol contestant Todrick Hall created a retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale with a gay twist and a few other Disney characters thrown in for good measure.

Writes Hall: “I wanted to tell this famous fairy tale in a new and innovative way, combining familiar top 40’s songs with classic Disney melodies. This story speaks volumes and I think that love is as classic as this fairy tale. It’s time for us to legalize love in all shapes and colors.”

The video includes Lance Bass as Prince Charming, Janice Dickinson as the evil stepmother, Shangela and Willam Belli as the stepsisters, plus Glozell as the Fairy Godmother, Kimberly Cole as Jasmine, and Aubrey O’Day as Alice.

Some very funny contemporary references here (“the artist formerly known as Prince Charming”). And who can resist Janice Dickinson at the evil stepmother?

Hope you like. Share the link to this post if you do 🙂
