"The cast of KINKY BOOTS lit up the Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC. Check out the wonderful performance here, led by Billy Porter, who won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for his portrayal of 'Lola' in Kinky Boots.
Twitchy.com, which reports on social trends, has rounded up some of the
many tweets about the performance, which resulted in the show trending
on Twitter. Along with tons and tons of well-deserved kudos, were also
nasty tweets from some of the parade's less tolerant watchers.
Comments ranged from "Kinky Boots Musical! Drag Queens in The Macy's Day
Thanksgiving Day Parade! Hells yes!" to the less accepting "Kinky Boots
was a odd selection for the thanksgiving day parade. Maybe next year,
we'll see Rocky Horror Picture Show on the parade route" and rude
comments like "No more NBC for us today. Too much focus on performances.
Kinky Boots? Really? Nice "family" programming...Not" and "Pretty sure I
don't need @MacysDayParade lecturing my family about diversity via "Kinky Boots". Let the kids be kids."
