Career

Hall began his career in entertainment by working on various cruises like Royal Caribbean and the Holland America Line. He also had various jobs at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

At the age of 20, he auditioned for the Broadway production of "The Color Purple" with Oprah Winfrey and Fantasia Barrino. He was cast in the ensemble and as an understudy for the role of Harpo. After "The Color Purple," he performed in "Memphis: The Musical" and in the touring productions of "Beauty and the Beast," "Radio City Christmas Spectacular," and "Hairspray."

From April to May 2014, Hall released an eight episode web series on his YouTube channel called "Pop Star High."

In June 2016, Hall self-released the album "Straight Outta Oz," a visual concept album that uses the imagery of "The Wizard of Oz" to explore Todrick's own life and rise to fame.
