UPDATE: Things Get K-K-Kinky On Broadway

File this under "WTF Were They Thinking" :

Kinky Boots, the new musical from Cindi Lauper and Harvey Fierstein based on the 2005 indie film, recently moved into it's home on the great white way at the Al Hirschfeld theater on West 45th Street. Producers were quick to decorate the theater's facade with the show's marketing, but perhaps they were a little too quick. 

The show's branding is really cute-- the letter "K" formed by two knee-high booted legs. However, no one seemed to realize that the iconic logo created a different message all together.  When they wrapped these large columns, didn't anyone catch the giant "K-K-K" ?????

Broadwayworld featured the show in their "Up On the Marquee" column, but were kind enough to leave this questionable shot out.


UPDATE: Apparently, the producers came to their senses. The day after I originally posted this, a change was made to the center column, eliminating the cultural faux pas.

CHAPLIN: the musical

Had the chance to see an early preview of this new musical thanks to my friend Sunny Naughton at Camp Broadway. Didn't know much about the production going into the show, but was pleasantly surprised by the performance overall. Rob McClure is really, really impressive as the title character-- an iconic persona that we all (even us Millennials) have (at least) some reference on.

If you're into new musical theatre, than I suggest you check it out. If you like spectacle, hi-tech effects, and memorable pop music-- then I suggest you stick with Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.

I was in the lobby of the Gershwin for the Wicked Day festivities (aka the pizza-out-of-a-box after-party), and noticed this shot of the incomparable Bernadette Peters.
