Just announced, the 'Broadway in the Boros' performance of Kinky Boots, originally scheduled in Queens Flushing Meadows Corona Park for tomorrow, July 29, will be rescheduled due to a storm system prediction of rain, thunder, and lightning at times throughout the day.

The new date will be Friday, August 5, from 12 to 1 p.m. at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Grand Central Pkwy., Whitestone Exwy. (between 111 St. & College Point Blvd., Park Drive E.), Queens, NY, 11367 (in front of the Unisphere Fountain and The Queens Museum).

The performance will feature a showcase of vignettes performed by musicians and cast members from Broadway's Kinky Boots, and will be hosted by Lite FM on-air personality Helen Little.

This summer, the best of Broadway is headed to your neighborhood! Broadway in the Boros features lunchtime performances from Broadway's most popular shows. These fun and entertaining shows are family-friendly, free and open to the public, and will take place throughout the summer in communities that have little access to public programming.

The 'Broadway in the Boros' series is part of MOME's 50th anniversary celebrations, highlighting New York City's vibrant history in film, theatre and broadcasting.
