I couldn't be more excited about doing Kinky Boots on Broadway; it's going to be a delicious challenge! Believe it or not, they're going to be the first stilettos I'll ever have worn. My feet are so big, I've never seen a pair that would actually fit me."
It was also announced that Kristin Maldonado, of Pentatonix, will also be joining the cast as Lauren. She will star from February 2nd, 2018 to April 8th 2018.
