The most beautiful thing happened on September 26 when Kinky Boots originals Billy Porter and Stark Sands rejoined the long-running musical at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. Box office numbers spiked as audiences excited to see the show's first dynamic duo revisited the hit. In the past week, the Tony-winning show featuring a book by Harvey Fierstein and a score by Cyndi Lauper saw a grosses boost of more than $70,000. The show's capacity also jumped, packing in a slew of cheering crowds. Porter and Sands are slated to remain with the show until January 7, 2018, so pull on your boots and make your way west on 45th Street to see a pair of Broadway's best live.
