Those colorful kinky characters sure clean up nice! Kinky Boots’ creators Cyndi Lauper (music and lyrics) and Harvey Fierstein (book) joined The New York Times’ theater writer Patrick Healy on March 18 as part of the Times’ popular interview series, “Times Talk.” The two creators spoke at the TimesCenter in Times Square about the undertaking of adapting this film for the stage and Lauper’s experience as a first-time Broadway composer/lyricist. The chat was peppered with performances from the musical’s stars, Billy Porter and Stark Sands. Broadway.com photographer Bruce Glikas was on hand to capture the Kinky Boots team as they went legit for the NYT. Check out the photos below, and see the wonderful achievement of Lauper and Fierstein in Kinky Boots at Broadway’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
