Welcome to the land of Lola, Aaron C. Finley! The Great White Way alum will begin performances in the Tony-winning Kinky Boots on August 8. Finley is set to take over as Charlie Price from Andy Kelso; the production is playing at Broadway's Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

Inspired by a true story, Kinky Boots features a score by Cyndi Lauper, direction by Jerry Mitchell and a book by Harvey Fierstein. The musical follows a struggling shoe factory owner who works to turn his business around with help from the most unlikely person. Together, these two become an unstoppable team, and find that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible...proving that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world.
The Broadway production opened in April 2013 and went on to win six Tonys, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Choreography.
The cast also currently includes Alan Mingo Jr., Shannon O’Boyle, Daniel Stewart Sherman and Marcus Neville.
