David Cook is strapping on his boots yet again! The American Idol winner—who made his Broadway debut in April as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots—returns to the Tony-winning musical beginning on July 17 for a limited run through September 9. Cook succeeds Tyler Glenn, who played his final performance on July 15.
Cook first launched to stardom following his season 7 American Idol win. He broke several Billboard-chart records when 14 of his songs debuted on the Hot Digital Songs chart and 11 of his songs debuted on the Hot 100, going on to sell more than 1.5 million albums, including his certified-platinum eponymous album. Cook's brand-new EP Chromance, teased by his first single, "Gimme Heartbreak," is currently available via all digital platforms.
The winner of six 2013 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Kinky Boots features a Tony-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, a book by Tony winner Harvey Fierstein and direction and choreography by Tony winner Jerry Mitchell.
