American singer and YouTuber Todrick Hall is joining the London cast of Shrek the Musical as everyone’s favourite noble steed, Donkey.

He will be starring alongside Antony Lawrence and Strictly’s Joanne Clifton in the musical’s limited six-week run at the Eventim Apollo this summer.

While Hall is best known for his time judging RuPaul’s Drag Race, he is also no stranger to the stage. The performer made his Broadway debut in The Colour Purple in 2007, and then went on to star as Lola in Kinky Boots, Ogie in Waitress and Billy Flynn in Chicago.

Now, he’s taking on the role of Shrek’s waffle-loving companion – voiced by Eddie Murphy in the films – and alongside Shrek and Fiona, will be heading off on a fairy-tale adventure filled with dragons, danger and a great set of songs.
