Those who protest libraries for drag queen storytime or those who enact laws against saying the word “gay” wouldn’t be caught dead in this dragapalooza of a musical which is a shame.
Uptown Players, director John de los Santos and the talented cast created something transcendent and special. With the book by Harvey Fierstein and music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper, you could say much about Kinky Boots is a safe bet.
The songs by an iconic pop star are catchy and the story by a Broadway legend is quirky but compelling with enough balance of drama and humor.
