Photo Flash: JEOPARDY! Winner Choyon Manjrekar Attends KINKY BOOTS Tour Performance

The 2013 Tony® Award-winning Best Musical Kinky Boots opened at the Providence Performing Arts Center last night, where recent Jeopardy! winner Choyon Manjrekar, a Providence, RI City Planner, caught up with Kinky Boots producer Hal Luftig and cast from the national tour of Kinky Boots. Check out a look back below!

What is the connection? Mr. Manjrekar was given the clue "A Christian hymn and a Jewish holiday hymn are both titled this, also the name of a 2009 Tony-nominated musical." He answered "What is Kinky Boots?"...and while that was not the correct answer, the moment went viral across the nation. Mr. Manjrekar told Mr. Luftig that when he heard the question, the first show he thought of was Kinky Boots!

Kinky Boots is the smash-hit musical that brings together four-time Tony® Award-winner Harvey Fierstein (Book) and Grammy® Award-winning rock icon Cyndi Lauper (Tony® Award-winner for Best Score for Kinky Boots).

Directed and choreographed by Tony® Award-winner Jerry Mitchell, Kinky Boots opened on Broadway April 4, 2013 and continues to play to standing-room-only crowds nightly.

Inspired by true events, Kinky Boots takes you from a gentlemen's shoe factory in Northampton to the glamorous catwalks of Milan. Charlie Price is struggling to live up to his father's expectations and continue the family business of Price & Son. With the factory's future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola, a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos.
