PureDWTS Season 27 – Mark Ballas to Join Cast of Broadway’s “Kinky Boots”

Congrats are in order to Mark – he’s going to be the new lead in the Broadway run of Kinky Boots:

Step aside: There’s a new Charlie on the block. Starting Sept. 11, Dancing With the Stars alum Mark Ballas is set to take over the lead role of shoemaker Charlie Price in the current Broadway run of Kinky Boots.

Ballas succeeds David Cook, who reprised the role last month following his original, month-long stint earlier in April. The Emmy-nominated dancer will play the part through Nov. 4.

I think Mark’s found his new niche – Broadway seems to fit his repertoire of talents well 🙂 I think this pretty much excludes him from the fall season of DWTS, but I think we all had gotten the impression that he was done with DWTS anyway.  Glad to see him moving onto new ventures where his talent is appreciated!
