Fleming makes his Mirvish debut with Kinky Boots. He spent last year barefoot in the U.S. National Tour of Hair spreading peace and love to 46 states. He also starred in the Off-Broadway production of Somewhere With You, a country-rock musical.

Other recent credits include: Gabe in Next To Normal, Roger in Rent, Smudge in Forever Plaid (The Lower Ossington Theatre), Jeff in [Title of Show] (Blank Slate Productions), Fecter in Dogfight (Toronto Premier Concert Reading), Stars Come Out (Theatre By The Bay). Last year, Graham was the 2014 male recipient of the Banks Prize from Acting Up Stage.

KINKY BOOTS opened on Broadway on April 4, 2013 and went on to win six 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 Broadway production recently surpassed the 1000 performance milestone.

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 discover that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world.

Kinky Boots in Toronto is now extended through March 2016 due to popular demand. For tickets visit Mirvish.com.
