I just returned from a 5 day trip to the east coast where I stayed with my good friend Marty. Listened to an amazing world class system once again at Marty's new house. Earlier in the week we sojourned into NYC where we caught the matinee of Kinky Boots. I have heard nothing but amazing things about this production. I even saw the film from which the play was adapted prior to seeing the Broadway show. In spite of this I must admit that I wasn't prepared for what I saw. Simply put, this was one of the BEST shows I have ever seen on Broadway. Harvey Fierstein wrote the book that inspired the film.

KINKY BOOTS is the exhilarating Broadway musical that will lift your spirits to new high-heeled heights! Winner of six Tony Awards® including BEST MUSICAL, this inspirational story follows a struggling shoe factory owner who works to turn his business around with help from the most unlikely person. Together, these two become an unstoppable team, and find that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible… proving that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world.
Inspired by a true story, KINKY BOOTS features a joyous, Tony-winning score by CYNDI LAUPER, direction and Tony-winning choreography by JERRY MITCHELL and a hilarious, uplifting book by four-time Tony winner HARVEY FIERSTEIN. Come join the sold-out audiences who’ve discovered why sometimes, the best way to fit in is to stand out!
Billy Porter who plays Lola is truly "THE" show. This guy can sing act and emote. The final few scenes in this production will truly leave you with a lump in your throat.
This is truly one show that if you get a chance to see, run, don't walk.
The production goes on tour later this year and I intend on seeing it at Pantages Theater in Los Angeles in November
