West End star Killian Donnelly will make his Broadway debut in Kinky Boots from December 6. Donnelly, who earned Olivier—and Grammy!—nominations for originating the role of Charlie in the West End staging, is replacing Aaron C. Finley.
In addition to Kinky Boots, Donnelly’s additional London stage credits include Memphis, Billy Elliot, The Commitments, The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables. He also appeared in the screen adaptation of Les Miz, playing Combeferre.
Featuring a score by Cyndi Lauper and a book by Harvey Fierstein, the Tony-winning Kinky Boots follows a struggling shoe factory owner who works to turn his business around with help from a local drag queen. Together, these two become an unstoppable team, and find that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible.
The cast also currently includes Todrick Hall as Lola, Haven Burton as Lauren, Shannon O’Boyle as Nicola, Marcus Neville as George and Daniel Stewart Sherman as Don.
