“Kinky Boots,” the smash-hit Broadway musical, is a real kick in the … well, you fill in the blank. The 2013 Tony Award-winning musical, with the story by Harvey Fierstein and score by Cyndy Lauper, plays The Buell Theatre through Nov. 9.
This one is well worth your entertainment dollar for two hours of a an uplifting theatrical experience that will set your toes tapping. The story about a failing English shoe factory that reinvents itself to feed the soles of a niche audience (the transvestite community) with man-sized hip-high blingy boots.
The gender lines are so firmly bent that it’s tough to tell which actors, sans wigs, breasts and skimpy costumes, are really male. But it became obvious when the actors joined invited guests to the post-show reception on the Buell’s mezzanine.
This is a new-ish Denver Center Attractions addition for top ticket holders wanting an added value to theater tickets. The cast munched and mingled with an appreciative audience.
