A huge-hearted, high-heeled hit, Kinky Boots is a joyous musical celebration about the friendships we discover and the belief that you can change the world when you change your mind. Inspired by true events, and with songs by Grammy and Tony winning pop icon Cyndi Lauper, direction and choreography by two-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell (Legally Blonde, Hairspray) and a book by Broadway legend and four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein (La Cage Aux Folles), Kinky Boots is the winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Choreography. (An extensive list of Kinky Boots's awards is at bottom of attached press release.) During its extensive run on Broadway, the New York Times called it 'the hottest musical on Broadway!'
KINKY BOOTS will be touring North America beginning December 29, 2018 after returning from an overseas tour in China and Singapore. The tour will launch in Paducah, KY and continue across North America making stops in over 80 cities including Chicago, IL; Los Angeles, CA; Albuquerque, NM; Winnipeg, MB; Atlantic City, NJ; Boston, MA; Tampa, FL; and New Orleans, LA.
