Omari Collins — known on and off stage as the unforgettable Scarlett D. Von’Du — joins The Roundtable with Robert Bannon to talk about starring in the hit musical KINKY BOOTS as it stops in Detroit. Omari shares what it means to step into such an iconic role, the responsibility of honoring the character’s legacy, and the joy of bringing this bold, high-energy show to audiences who are ready to celebrate authenticity and self-expression.
We also dive into the deeper message behind KINKY BOOTS — acceptance, chosen family, and standing proudly in who you are — and why this story continues to resonate everywhere it goes. From fierce performances to heartfelt moments backstage, Omari opens up about the magic of the tour, the love he feels from audiences, and why Detroit holds a special place on the journey.
The Roundtable with Robert Bannon is available on BroadwayWorld, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms.
