Multiple Tony Award-Winning hit, KINKY BOOTS, strutted into the Ohio Theatre last night with plenty of glamour and charm. Directed and choreographed by Tony Award-Winning Jerry Mitchell with music by Grammy Award-winning icon Cyndi Lauper and book by four-time Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein, KINKY BOOTS delights all ages with its energetic choreography, uplifting music, and heart-warming message.

That you're going to have a wonderful time at Kinky Boots is something I don't have to tell you. If you're a theatergoer with a pulse, you'll have heard about the musical's great success (six Tonys, two-and-a-half years on Broadway). And you'll probably know that it was crafted from a movie that was itself all but a perfect musical, but for the absence of dedicated songs. You'll also know that Kinky Boots' book is by Harvey Fierstein and the songs by Cyndi Lauper. With credentials like that, it would be inconceivable that the result could be other than bliss. All the rest is simply a bunch of details.

Presented by Performing Arts Fort Worth, Kinky Boots, the smash-hit musical that brings together four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein (Book) and Grammy Award-winning rock icon Cyndi Lauper (Tony Award-winner for Best Score for Kinky Boots), will play at Bass Performance Hall Oct. 27-Nov. 1.

The six-time Tony Award winning Kinky Boots is a fun time at the Fisher Theatre. It is a show filled with heart and friendship will have the audience laughing in their seats while they watch an extremely talented cast perform this fantastic show.

Oh my! It's been a hell of a year for the Seattle Theatre scene and I can say we've been quite fortunate to see the incredible shows we have. So many amazing shows in fact that picking just a few stand outs (let alone a "best") is a near impossibility. But I have searched the deep dark recesses of my memory to find the shows and performances that really stood out and stuck with me beyond the evening and throughout the year. And so, without further ado, I'm thrilled to present the BWW 2014 Seattle Critic's Choice Awards (or Jay's Picks). Let the awesomeness flow!
