Kinky Boots (Broadway Musical) - Review

Let me start off with the fact I am not a big musical fan what so ever.  However, Kinky Boots is probably the most talked about show of the season and won 6 Tony’s so I had to give the show a shot.  Might I say that was one of the better decisions I made in my life.  The sets, props, and costumes really stood out during the show and made it a pleasure to watch.  The acting was absolutely superb as Billy Porter and Stark Sands stole the show.  Porter plays a transgendered male who goes by the name of Lola and does a remarkable job in doing so.  Sands plays a young business man name Charlie who carries a heavy British accent while pursuing to draw the crowd’s attention to him.  The fellow cast did an excellent job and I couldn’t imagine one without this group of people.  The music used through the entire show was primarily club or soft rock music which was really enjoyable to jam along to during the show.  The music really followed along with the show very well.  The show’s story line was also a unique, yet interesting one to go along with.  It’s also great because the story is very hard to relate to and you constantly imagine and think what a crazy scenario is going on.  This show is probably one of the best Broadway shows I have seen in a while and it is a MUST SEE.  Go see it!

Rating - 5/5
