Emmy-award winning entertainer Wayne Brady is an actor, singer and dancer known for the hit improv show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" Brady stopped by NBC's TODAY's to talk about his starring role in the Broadway musical KINKY BOOTS and how he's been told that in drag, he looks like Michelle Obama.

"I just got to the point where I feel I don't feel like I'm going to fall over and break everybody's legs," joked the actor of walking in Lola's boots. Watch the appearance below!

Emmy Award-winner and Grammy Award nominee Wayne Brady officially took over the coveted role of 'Lola' in the Tony Award-winning musical Kinky Boots at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre (302 West 45th Street) on November 21, 2015.

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, "TheWayne 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.
