“I can’t really think that just three years ago I was watching this show on Broadway, and now here I am doing the national tour,” says rising musical comedy star Adam Kaplan of the journey he has traveled in the national tour of the Tony Award®-Winning Broadway Smash Kinky Boots by Harvey Fierstein and Cyndi Lauper. It’s back for a second encore run at the 5th Avenue Theatre, where it officially opens this Thursday.
Kaplan plays Charlie Price, the down-on-his-luck heir to a struggling Northampton, UK shoe factory which gets a boost in the soles from a fabulous drag queen named Lola (played in this tour by Harrison Ghee). Ironically, Kaplan’s Broadway career also included a stint in Disney’s Newsies which opened here at the Paramount yesterday. I chatted recently with Adam about his career road and cross-country tour.

Westport Shows Its Pride
Westport’s 4th annual Pride celebration brought a rainbow collection to Jesup Green.
Members of the LGBTQ+ community, allies and friends; children in strollers, and older folks with walkers; those of many faiths, and none, all came together for a festive — and occasionally reflective — afternoon.
Staples Lofty School was in the house.
Vendors sold books and bracelets.
Speakers spoke. Musicians made music. Clergy offered prayers.
State treasurer Erick Russell (far left) — a member of the LGBTQ community — spoke about the importance of the day for young people. He was joined by Joe Grabarz, Connecticut’s first openly gay legislator; Articulate Representative Jonathan Steinberg, and State Senator Ceci Maher, of Westport Pride’s advisory committee.
And — whenever they could — friends and strangers smiled.
