Tyler Glenn, Lead Singer of Neon Trees, Makes Broadway Debut in Kinky Boots

Tyler Glenn, lead singer of the multi-platinum rock band Neon Trees, takes his first Broadway bow as Charlie Price in the Tony-winning musical Kinky Boots on May 6 for a limited run through July 15. Glenn replaces David Cook, who played his final performance as planned on May 5.

"I'm over the moon to make my Broadway debut playing Charlie Price," said Glenn. "I love this show and its message of inclusion and its genuine sweetness and humanity. Plus, it's just so much fun. I'm honored to be a part of the family and rock the boots all summer long!"
