Got discount tickets to see the Broadway musical Kinky Boots by Cyndi Lauper and Harvey Fierstein, based on the movie and true story of the unlikely friendship between a shoemaker and a drag queen who work together to save the shoe company by creating/catering to a new market of high-heeled boots for men.
Opening set
I'd heard of the title but knew nothing about the show/story, so we went into this based only on the premise and the fact that it won several Tony Awards, including Best Musical. We loved it! It was a wonderful show. Really great songs (both music & lyrics), funny writing, heartwarming story, lovable characters, colorful costumes, stunning sets, and cool choreography. It was a full-blown Broadway spectacle, full of sights, sounds, and feels. Definitely recommended: A!
I love that the audience (which was a mix of young & old) really embraced Lola and her Angels. They laughed, cried, and cheered the loudest for Lola, as they should. By the finale, everyone was on their feet. What a fantastic experience! :D
