New York (WFAN) — You know Tiki Barber as the former Giants Pro Bowl running back from 1997-2006. Barber has been in sports media ever since and currently hosts a shoe on CBS Sports Radio with Brandon Tierney. Well, now Barber is heading to Broadway

Barber, 43, announced Tuesday that he will make his debut Jan. 21 in "Kinky Boots" on Broadway. He will play the role of factory foreman Don in the Tony-winning show, which is based on on the 2005 British film of the same name. 


The former running back will be part of show until March 3. The only other NFL player to be on Broadway was Eddie George in 2016, when he joined "Chicago" playing the role of Billy Flynn. 

"I am so excited to be making my Broadway debut in Kinky Boots," Barber said in a statement. "I was very fortunate to be part of the New York Giants for 10 years and feel incredibly lucky to be joining another New York institution: Broadway."

Barber's musical numbers, which were written by Cyndi Lauper, include "What a Woman Wants," "In This Corner" and "Raise You Up/Just Be."

This will be a must see.
