Kinky Boots on Broadway (Limited Availability)
Kinky Boots is the winner of every major Best Musical award including the Tony, the Grammy, and London's Olivier Award. Based on true events, this huge-hearted hit tells the story of two people with nothing in common - or so they think.
Kinky Boots features the first-ever Broadway score by Grammy winner Cyndi Lauper (who became the first female solo songwriter to win a Tony) and a hilarious yet moving book by four-time Tony winner Harvey Fierstein. Despite numbers set at a drag club, Kinky Boots is much more than a drag queen musical; it touches on the universal themes of father/son relationships and accepting others for who they really are. Directed and choreographed by Tony winner Jerry Mitchell, Kinky Boots is the epitome of a feel-good musical that inspires audiences to dance in the aisles. > Limited orchestra tickets are available at this special group rate.
