Emmy Award winner Wayne Brady will end his run in Kinky Boots as Lola/Simon today. Brady took over the role in November from Billy Porter, who won a Tony in 2013 for his performance. The actor took to Twitter to post a video commemorating his final performance. Check it out below!

Kinky Boots marked Brady's return to Broadway after more than a decade. After making his Broadway debut in 2004 as 'Billy Flynn' in Chicago, Brady also played 'Collins' in the 2010 Neil Patrick Harris-directed Rent at the Hollywood Bowl and last year starred in Pasadena Playhouse's trailblazing production of Kiss Me Kate. In 2003, he won both a Primetime Emmy Award for "Whose Line Is It Anyway" and a Daytime Emmy Award as host of his own talk show, "The Wayne Brady Show." He currently hosts the CBS game show "Let's Make a Deal," which has earned him six Daytime Emmy Award nominations.

Kinky Boots tells the uplifting and heartwarming tale of Charlie Price, a young man reluctantly taking over his family's struggling business. Charlie meets and finds inspiration in Lola and together, the 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. The winner of six 2013 Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, Kinky Boots features a Tony® Award-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, a book by Tony® Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, and direction and choreography by Tony® Award- winner Jerry Mitchell. The Grammy Award-winning Original Broadway Cast Recording of Kinky Boots is available on Sony Masterworks Broadway
