Have you all heard of the musical Kinky Boots? It has been on my radar forever, and I am SO pumped it’s coming to The Fox in Detroit. If you enjoy musicals, this one is a MUST.
This is not a show for kids, but would make a fantastic date night with a spouse, a girlfriend or a parent. I’m taking my mom as a girl’s night out! I’m excited to laugh and jam to some fantastic show tunes. I’ve been listening to the soundtrack, and I love it!
ABOUT THE SHOW
Kinky Boots, the smash-hit musical, 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).
Inspired by true events, the show takes you from a gentlemen’s shoe factory in Northampton
to the glamorous catwalks of Milan. Charlie Price is struggling to live up to his father’s expectations and continue the family business of Price & Son. With the factory’s future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola, a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos.
The show will play at the Fox Theatre from Friday, November 3 through Sunday, November 5 as part of the Fifth Third Bank Fox Theatre Series.
MAJOR PRAISE FOR KINKY BOOTS
Directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell, Kinky Boots has won every
major Best Musical Award and is represented around the world with the Tony Award-winning
Broadway company now in its fourth year, a North American First National Tour that launched in
September 2014, a London production that opened in September 2015 (where it won the 2016
Olivier Award for Best Musical) and a Japanese production that opened in July 2016.
Kinky Boots took home six 2013 Tony Awards, the most of any show in the season, including
Best Musical, Best Score (Cyndi Lauper), Best Choreography (Jerry Mitchell), Best
Orchestrations (Stephen Oremus) and Best Sound Design (John Shivers). The show also
received the Drama League, Outer Critics Circle and Broadway.com Awards for Best Musical
and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Album, along with many other accolades.
