As Kevin McHale makes his Broadway debut this week, he’s honoring his late costar, Cory Monteith, with a sweet nod in his Playbill biography.
The Glee alum, fresh off of a run in the off-Broadway revival of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, has officially taken over the role of Brad in the Broadway revival of The Rocky Horror Show—an honor he and Monteith have in common, as the late actor once portrayed the lovable nerd when, in the fifth episode of Season 2, the New Directions took on the cult classic.
Fans who were in attendence when the McHale hit the Broadway stage for the first time on Aug. 25 noted an emotional inclusion for Monteith, who died during the production break between the fourth and fifth seasons of Glee at just 31 years old.
“For Cory, his forever Brad,” the actor’s bio concluded, as seen in a snapshot uploaded to social media.

“I’m sick to my stomach over this ?,” another wrote, while a third agreed, “Its too early to cry…this is so sweet ♥️?.”
“Damn it Janet ?,” another quipped.
Fans would have been emotional over the heartfelt gesture either way, but in light of the week’s other difficult losses, with Dolly Parton and Tim Curry dying back to back, it was an especially tearjerking addition to the zeitgeist.
“OH COME ON????? HIT ME WHILE IM ALREADY DOWN,” another exclaimed.
August has proven to be a heavy month, with the two legends, both 80, dying just weeks after the unexpected loss of Hayden Panettiere at only 36 years old.
