NEW YORK — Wayne Brady and Alan Mingo Jr., two men who stepped into 6-inch heels for “Kinky Boots” on Broadway, will play the title character behind the curtain when “The Wiz” tours the U.S. starting this fall and eventually landing on Broadway next year.
“Me and Wayne go way back to where we were friends in Los Angeles as actors,” says Minho. “So what better way to share a gig with your friends?” Adds Brady: “It’s a dream. It truly is a dream.”
