Kyle Taylor Parker has been wowing audiences for years with his dynamic presence and enchanting vocal tone, both rich and bright. Kyle made his Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning smash hit musical, Kinky Boots. He later earned rave reviews across the country by originating the role of “Lola” in the musical’s first national tour (IRNE Award “Best Visiting Actor in a Musical”) before returning to Broadway to replace Billy Porter in 2015. He was in the original cast of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Broadway and starred in Smokey Joe’s Café (Chita Rivera Award) and Finian’s Rainbow Off-Broadway. Beyond New York, he originated the role of “Happy Man/Mr. Thompson” on the first national tour of Pretty Woman and starred in the world premiere of My Very Own British Invasion at Paper Mill Playhouse. Regional credits also include Disney’s The Little Mermaid (Paper Mill Playhouse), Guys and Dolls (Maltz Jupiter Theatre), and Jersey Boys (Broadway at Music Circus). Kyle also appeared in Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert on NBC alongside John Legend and Sara Bareilles. In addition to his work as an actor, Kyle is currently developing his first play titled Shop Boys: A Family Dramedy in Four Shifts, which received a private industry reading at the Harvey Fierstein Theatre Lab at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. A fan of musical theater since childhood, Kyle grew up in Wisconsin listening to both Broadway cast albums and Motown records – a combination that inspired him to make his solo recording debut with the release of Broadway Soul, Vol. 1 on the Broadway Records label in 2019, followed by Broadway Soul, Vol. 2 in 2021. Kyle has traveled the world sharing his heart, soul and sound as a concert artist.
