Best Bets: ‘Kinky Boots’

Hoopla

Apr. 12, 2018 12:35 am

This high-heeled hit celebrates the belief that you can change the world when you change your mind. Inspired by true events and fueled by songs by pop icon Cyndi Lauper and a book by Broadway legend Harvey Fierstein, it's the story of a family business on the brink that discovers a new niche when the fabulous Lola needs some sturdy new stilettos. The national tour of the Tony-winning musical takes audiences from a gentlemen's shoe factory in England to the catwalks of Milan.
