I Really Enjoyed this filmed. It will inspire you to never give up on your dreams and to keep pushing towards your goals. He went from American Idol to Broadway! I love how it takes u behind the scenes of his life and the back story of who is is today. And what got him to the amazing person that we fell in love with. I really loved seeing Todrick on American idol and then i fell in love with his youtube videos and his film Straight outta Oz. So when i watched this i was just amazed how hard working he is. he is truly a inspiration. The film will make you cry and laugh.he is really So Amazingly talented i will forever be a fan. Amazing movie! Amazing Cast. Defiantly a must see.
I love this documentary so much! It really takes a raw and real look at what goes on "Behind The Curtain" in the life of Todrick! Its a very interesting film to watch and you really get to know more about the performer rather than seeing him from the outside. Would give it 20 stars if I was allowed to.

One of the reviewers here indicated that Todrick is egotistical and narcissistic for producing his documentary 'Behind the Curtain'. The very thing he sees as a fault is why I admire him. I ran across his 'Greatest Showman' video after watching the movie. I was VERY impressed and felt it portrayed the spirit and passion of the songs superbly. It took me several weeks more to look up this artist. He had just released 'Forbidden' and I fell in love with him as a performer.
Why had I not heard of him before? I know more than I want to know about Cardi B and I've yet to see a full length video of hers. What I do know is that she is making some serious change on what I think is subpar talent (my own opinion). While Todrick is struggling to write and produce his visual album as well as put on a tour on what appears to be mostly on his own dime.
He is wildly talented, and a self-made success of mostly his own means. It sounds like he self-publishes his own content and doesn't have a record company to back him. Why? Why would a obviously talent like Todrick have to do everything himself? Because he is deemed unmarketable by corporate record companies. If they can't put him in certain profitable niches, then they want no parts of him. Other than mostly Broadway interviewers, I have not found any music related publications doing reviews of his music.
He is invisible to a certain degree. He said this over and over again and even wrote about it in 'Dumb'. He's created all of his own content thus far, so why wouldn't he advocate for his own projects? Why wouldn't he want people to know more about him and what he believes in and want to be a part of his music? It's a no brainier. If you can't advocate for yourself nobody will.

I never heard of Todrick Hall until a recent episode of Queer Eye's target mentioned he was his inspiration. Watching this doc, I can see the fascination. By sheer will power, Todrick puts on a show based in part on The Wizard of Oz & his own life, w/the barest of materials & the largest of gumption to get his music & message across. If only someone could bottle up his nerve & 'tude, I think we'd have another source of energy.
I'm always left in complete awe of Todrick and his immense talents when I watch his videos online, see him perform on stage, and I can say the same for this documentary. I'm in AWE! Getting the opportunity to see how much work he put into the music, visual album, and stage production from start to finish was beyond inspiring. Todrick is a force to be reckoned with! It's completely evident he put his entire heart and soul into this project. Katherine Fairfax Wright did an absolutely incredible job documenting every moment with Todrick and his team. I really feel like I got a true sense of life "Behind the Curtain". I highly recommend you check out this film, as well as all of Todrick's content on YouTube!
