KINKY BOOTS' Harvey Fierstein and Cyndi Lauper truly want people to 'raise their voice' and be sure to register to vote in the upcoming presidential election. The Tony Award winners stopped by last night's performance of the hit Broadway musical to remind the audience of the importance of voting.
The show has set up a special web site to assist voters in registering for the upcoming election. (Check it out here!) A message on the site reads: "Democrats, Republicans, and those who have yet to make up their minds - November 8 will be a momentous day for this nation. We want each and every one of you to get out there and cast your vote. You may have noticed there's some pretty outrageous stuff happening in the world, and it might feel like you can't make a difference, but guess what...YOU CAN! Your vote is your voice - not everyone will like it, but you've got to make it heard."
Fierstein, who will soon reprise his iconic role as Edna Turnblad in NBC's HAIRSPRAY LIVE!, turned to Facebook to share a photo of last night's appearance.
