Brady will strut into the Broadway production later this month.

Wayne Brady will return to Broadway on November 21 in Kinky Boots, the Tony-winning musical that plays at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, and Vanity Fair has posted the first image of Brady in costume as Lola — a fabulous drag queen.

Inspired by the 2005 British film of the same title, Kinky Boots features a Tony-winning score by Cyndi Lauper and a book by Harvey Fierstein. The musical tells the story of Charlie Price, the owner of a failing shoe factory who realizes that a sassy drag queen named Lola has the key to the business' success. Billy Porter, who won a Tony for originating the role of Lola, will play his final performance on November 20.

Best known for his role on the improv comedy series Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Brady is returning to Broadway for the first time in over a decade since making his debut as Billy Flynn in the cast of Chicago. Brady also played Collins in the 2010 Neil Patrick Harris-directed Rent at the Hollywood Bowl. Last year he starred in the Pasadena Playhouse production of Kiss Me Kate.
