He won Tony and Grammy awards last year for his starring role in Broadway's "Kinky Boots" and continues in the role that got him there, singing his heart out nightly as the dynamic drag queen Lola. The show has had a recent changeover in Mr. Porter's co-stars but continues to play to near or capacity houses, while celebrities such as Billy Joel and Robin Roberts drop by regularly offering kudos and seeking photo opps.

I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Billy Porter when he came to CMU to give a talk. The kind ora that Mr. Porter spread on the ever so tentative audience, was one of confidence and passion. If there is one thing that I learned when sitting in on his talk back was to always striving and to always be one step ahead. His success continues to inspire any drama student that attends CMU. It is nice to see that he is not slowing down and is not speaking it but doing it as well.
