Andy Kelso Takes Over as 'Charlie Price' in KINKY BOOTS

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Andy Kelso stepped into the shoes of Kinky Boots' Charlie Price last night, January 27. Kelso replaces Tony nominee Stark Sands, who departed the cast on Sunday.

This isn't the first time Kelso has performed on the Broadway stage. He made his debut in 2005 as Sky from Mamma Mia! and also originated the role of Harry in Kinky Boots. Kelso also stared as Fiyero in the 1st national tour of Wicked.

In Kinky Boots, Charlie Price has suddenly inherited his father's shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Trying to live up to his father's legacy and save his family business, Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola. A fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos, Lola turns out to be the one person who can help Charlie become the man he's meant to be. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible... and discovers that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world.
