Brendon Urie from Panic! at the Disco is going to Broadway!
Hold on to your high heels as Panic! at the Disco’s Brendon Urie is joining the cast of Kinky Boots on Broadway!
Given how important Panic! at the Disco were and still are to us, it’s no secret that we’ve been low key living for their resurgence in popularity. The band’s most recent album, Death of a Bachelor, was a massive success, and since then the band have gone on to wow us with a cover version of The Weeknd’s “Starboy” and their recent music videos, such as the seductive #throwback of the album’s title track, which pays homage to the old school Las Vegas of yesteryear.
