This news coincides with the release of
Cook's brand new EP
Chromance, which he released on February 16 via
iTunes.
In April of 2018,
Cook is heading to the Great White Way for his Broadway debut in
Kinky Boots, where he will be portraying Charlie Price.
Cook noted that he has had conversations about finding creative outlets outside of the music business, however the timing was never right for him.
The singer-songwriter is excited for his first leading role on Broadway, and he is aware how relevant the message of the Tony-winning musical is. Cook shared that he is stoked to be a part of this show, since it affords him the opportunity to work with many incredible people; moreover, Cook acknowledged that he loves the "collaborative" aspect of musical theatre, as well as being a part of a creative team, and performing for an audience every night.
