Tony Winner Kinky Boots Is A Must See

Let me just start off by saying that I loved Kinky Boots when I saw it. I also loved Matilda which opened around the same time. However when that year's Tony Award nominations were announced I along with most people thought that Matilda would take the top prize for Best Musical of the Year. I guess we were all wrong weren't we? Oh well. Somebody has to win and unfortunately somebody has to lose. Although both are still doing great business at the box office which we all know is what really matters.

Having never seen the movie I wasn't really sure what to expect. Oh sure I knew it had a score by Cyndi Lauper and a book by Harvey Fierstein. That alone should have told me it was going to at least be entertaining. What I didn't expect was that the show would have so much heart. Now to be honest the show wasn't exactly an easy sell when it first opened. Heck it wasn't even that easy after it won all those Tony Awards. I can't tell you how many times people would call looking for tickets to a show and after suggesting Kinky Boots the first thing out of their mouth was, " Oh I don't think that I really want to see a show about a bunch of drag queens."

O.K. it's true that Kinky Boots does have quite a few drag queens in the show. The lead character is one after all. But the show is so much more than that. At the core it is the friendship that develops between the two main characters and well to quote the show's own synopsis, "When you change your mind about someone you can change your whole world." I couldn't have said it better myself. By the way for those of you who still haven't seen the show there is no better time than right now. In fact if you call now you can get tickets to see this award winning musical at some incredible savings. Be advised that while this "Special Offer" is good thru June 21 it is for select seats and as always subject to availability. Get your Kinky Boots tickets now. You won't regret it. Until next time theatre fans.
