Starting today, Broadway’s “Lola,” TONY-winning performer for his role in "Kinky Boots," Billy Porter will be taking a three month break from the show to revisit his talents as a solo performer and director.

Starting with a concert on Jan. 28, as part of the “Lincoln Center Presents American Songbook Series” in New York City, Porter will perform songs from his 2014 jazz-inflected album “Billy’s Back on Broadway” with a one-night only event recorded for the “Live from Lincoln Center” TV series.
