If the musicals "Billy Elliot" and "Priscilla: Queen of the Desert" had a baby, it would be "Kinky Boots."

KINKY BOOTS is the kind of musical that seeing it once is not enough. The music, the storyline, the humor, the stage excitement makes this a very, very special theatrical experience. The touring production of the show is as good as the Broadway show. This is one staging that deserves a standing ovation, not just the automatic polite Cleveland one, but a real, well-deserved one. Bravo!

The musical KINKY BOOTS splashes onto the Playhouse Square stage in surprisingly bold and wonderful ways. But despite all the over-the-top high-fashion footwear featured in this audacious show, the biggest impression audiences are left with is that this musical has oodles of heart.

There have been great Broadway musicals based on indie movies about dying working-class small towns in England -- "Full Monty" and "Billy Elliot." There have been great Broadway musicals based on indie movies about drag queens -- “La Cage aux Folles” and “Priscilla Queen of the Desert.” So it stands to reason that a Broadway musical based on an indie movie about a dying working-class small town in England invaded by drag queens would be a sure-fire, double-duty hit. Indeed it is.
Mark Horning
It’s basically “Broadway by the Numbers” but with an
exceptional cast who makes the show bigger than life. If you are looking for a rock ‘em sock ‘em
high energy show with lots of glitter and flash this is the one you must see.

This bold, brassy and sassy musical spares no wattage as it flashes a galaxy of shiny, thigh-high leg holsters, in service to a story that is not nearly as inventive as the footwear.

"Boots" has glam, camp and high-kicking heart!
