Last time I spoke to Kirkwood (which, granted, was awhile ago) he told me he has never gone on as Lola.

There's audio of Kirkwood's Lola, so he's gone on, he's just clearly the third cover.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour will be starting up in Somerville, NJ on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City, MO(May 29-Jun 3) and is now then touring throughout Japan August & September 2018. Japan schedule: Tokyo(Aug 15-21), Kanagawa(Aug 28-29), Shizuoka(Aug 30), Osaka(Aug 31 - Sept 2).

RuPaul as Lola? lmao omg no really tho...

In that same vein, I am begging to see Kennedy Davenport as Lola! She can sing, dance, and has the comedy chops.

FYI, Cook's been out a bit since July 26 with John Jeffrey Martin and Corey Mach rotating as Charlie Price.

How is David Cook as Charlie? I saw the show with Andy Kelso as Charlie and loved him and the show. Would love to go again, but debating whether I should see David or wait for the next Charlie.

Last night was his first night out(Mach was on ) . He didn't do his weekly radio show on Weds for being sick. He only missed one show during his first run.  He has a scheduled absence on August 26 .Kinky had the understudies perform at Bryant Park for some reason but had the principals perform at the event in the Bronx the next day

Definitely see David. I wasn't expecting anything from him but he blew me away.
