KINKY BOOTS SEPTEMBER 16-21, 2014 • TICKETS START AT $25 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 Lola, a fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos. Together, this unlikely pair finds 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 Award®-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, direction and Tony Award®-winning choreography by Jerry Mitchell and a hilarious, uplifting book by four-time Tony Award®-winner Harvey Fierstein. Come join the sold-out audiences who've discovered why – sometimes – the best way to fit in is to stand out! Those who attend the Thursday show will be able to take part in a special 50th Anniversary Talk Back.
