Musical Review: ‘Kinky Boots’ Is Dazzling

Review By Monique Thompson

Kinky Boots hits the Music Hall Fair Park as part of the 2017 Dallas Summer Musical lineup. Based on a true story, Kinky Boots follows a young Brit (Charlie) who’s inherited his father’s shoe factor. When the business’s future existence is threatened, drag queen Lola comes to the rescue when she crosses paths with Charlie. From that point, things with Charlie will never be the same.

The cast of Kinky Boots is simply phenomenal! From the music numbers, by the fabulous Cyndi Lauper of course, down to the costumes and choreography, Kinky Boots is an amazing experience. It also packs a powerful and inspiring message of loving yourself and accepting others for who they are, even if you don’t agree with their lifestyle. Charlie and Lola are brilliant together and this story will steal your heart, just as Lola steals the show with a solid performance and of course, the dazzling red kinky boots!

Runs through April 9th, part of Dallas Summer Musicals.
