Wayne Brady to star in Broadway's 'Kinky Boots'

Wayne Brady is about to get freaky -- on Broadway, The Associated Press reports. Producers of "Kinky Boots" said the "Let's Make a Deal" host will step into the high heels of the cross-dressing character Lola starting Nov. 21. It is his first return to Broadway since he made his debut in 2004 in "Chicago." In a statement, Brady called it "the role of a lifetime" and that "starring in a Broadway show of this caliber has been my dream since I started performing at age 16." Brady, 43, will succeed Broadway's original Lola, Billy Porter, who has played more than 800 performances at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre and won a Tony Award in 2013.
