Two-time Dancing with the Stars champion Mark Ballas, who stepped into Broadway's Kinky Boots September 11 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, has extended his run in the Tony-winning musical.
Ballas, who had been scheduled to play the role of Charlie Price through November 4, will now continue through November 18.
“I am so ready to come back to Broadway and can’t wait to step into those iconic boots and be part of the Kinky Boots legacy,” Ballas, who made his Broadway debut in Jersey Boys, said in an earlier statement. “Kinky Boots is a heartfelt, positive, and joyous show with an even more beautiful message that we all need right now more than ever. It will be an honor to perform alongside this amazing company and get to tell this story eight times a week!”
The winner of six 2013 Tony Awards, Kinky Boots features a Tony-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, a book by Tony winner Harvey Fierstein, and direction and choreography by Tony winner Jerry Mitchell.
