Review: Much to like about ‘Kinky Boots’
There is so much to like about “Kinky Boots,” the touring Broadway show that opened Tuesday night at Spokane’s INB Performing Arts Center.
The show is endearing, lively, funny, sweet and charming. The songs, written by 1980s pop icon Cyndi Lauper, are bouncy. The costumes are to die for. And those boots! They are the very definition of fabulous.
And with one notable – and understandable – exception, the performances Tuesday night were top notch. Spokane fans of musical comedy will no doubt be high-stepping to the theater the rest of this week to catch the six-time Tony winner during its local run.
Ostensibly, the story is about a man trying to save his family’s failing shoe factory. Really, it’s a story about acceptance – accepting others for who they are and accepting ourselves/Carolyn Lamberson, SR. More here.
