Everybody say “Yeah!” and let Kinky Boots lift your spirits to high-heeled heights! Winner of every Best Musical award, including the Tony, Grammy and London’s Olivier Award, Kinky Boots continues to captivate and entertain audiences around the world with a Tony-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, book by four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, and original direction and Tony-winning choreography by Jerry Mitchell.

Based on true events, Kinky Boots follows the journey of two people with nothing in common — or so they think. The unlikely pair find that they have more in common than they realized ... and discover that you change the world when you change your mind.
