Andy Kelso and Billy Porter at KINKY BOOTS Cast Celebrates 500th Performance! Photo
The Tony Award-winning musical Kinky Boots just celebrated its 500th Performance yesterday, June 19th at the Hirschfeld Theatre. With a Tony Award-winning score by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, a book by four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, and direction and choreography by two-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell, Kinky Boots opened on April 4, 2013 and continues to play to standing-room-only crowds nightly. The show, which has broken all box office records at the Hirschfeld Theatre, recouped its costs in October 2013, after just 30 weeks on Broadway. BroadwayWorld brings you photos from backstage at the milestone performance below!
