Mingo’s previous Broadway credits include “Sebastian” in Disney’s The Little Mermaid (Original Broadway cast member) and “Tom Collins” in Rent. While Mingo is excited to join the new cast on Broadway, leaving the Toronto cast wasn’t easy.
Today is my final performance with #kinkybootsto. It has truly been an honour working alongside this amazing cast and crew. #bittersweet
Inspired by true events, Kinky Boots tells the story of Charlie Price, who inherits his father’s shoe factory. Looking to save the family business, Charlie turns to a fabulously fashionable new friend – cabaret star Lola – who gives him an outrageous idea that could change both their destinies.
