New York, NY (January 21, 2018) – Kinky Boots producers Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig announced today that the Tony® Award winning musical Kinky Boots celebrated 2,000 performances on Broadway at Saturday’s matinee performance, January 20, 2018.. Led by Scissor Sisters front-man, Jake Shears as ‘Charlie Price’ and J. Harrison Ghee as ‘Lola,’ the matinee audience took part in a full-theater photograph to commemorate the show’s milestone performance.

 

Roth and Luftig previously announced that Pentatonix star Kirstin Maldonado will join the cast as ‘Lauren’ on February 2, 2018.

 

The winner of six 2013 Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, Kinky Boots features a Tony® Award-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, a book by Tony® Award-winner Harvey Fierstein and direction and choreography by Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell. Kinky Boots tells the uplifting and heartwarming tale of Charlie Price, a young man reluctantly taking over his family’s struggling shoe factory and looking for a fresh idea. Charlie meets and finds inspiration in Lola and together, they discover that it takes a good friend to make a great pair.
