I have seen the production on Broadway and the energy was just as good with this show!
The play was wonderful, excellent performance! Parking and detours to venue a bit sketchy, concessions non existent. Tiny bag of pre-poped "Proper"popcorn the size of a coke can for $4. Worse popcorn ever. .
Lots of good food. Friendly staff, cast. Visiting from Illinois. 37 years ago, saw Joseph an the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat as a 4-H'r. So impressed then, had to return with my wife. Equally as impressed by the cast of Kinky Boots. A highlight of our vacation.
Way beyond expectations- the meal, the service ( love that the waiters are the actors!) and the show. I was expecting typical community theater, but this was AMAZING!!! Being so close to the action, seeing the actors up close you almost become part of the show. Our seats were great, don't think there are bad seats in this venue. Our only negative is that there is one ladies room with a few stalls- don''t know how they could add more, and it is a little tight with the seating- it would lose profits but a few less seats or tables would be helpful- our show had a lot of older folks with walkers, oxygen tanks, which do take up space. Can't wait to return here- we have gone to Baltimore for shows, but parking is a headache and expensive- just get off the highway and drive right up here!! Hassle free
The performance was broadway quality!!! Worth every penny!!!! Coming back for every show I can!!!
The show was fabulous, very entertaining for me and my kids, only complaint is the food mostly mediocre. It's very personal having a chance to meet the cast after the show and interacting with them throughout.
Everything was awesome: from the history, the host, the dinner atmosphere, to the production. I cannot believe how hardworking the actors are - to wait tables before the show and during intermission is completely mind boggling. And Kinky Boots is a total must see. That was my first time at Toby’s and the experience totally surpassed my expectations.
This show was beyond fabulous!! The cast was as good as any show ive seen in a bigger theater. Well done!!
I had been wanting to see Kinky Boots for a long time and was not disappointed by the performance at Tobys. All of the actors/singers were wonderful especially the gentleman that played Lola. If you get a chance, please go see the performance. You will love it.
Enjoyed the show. Didn't expect to be sitting with another couple, but they turned out to be ok. I liked how they had a gentleman go down the line taking info and giving us our table numbers, etc. The food was pretty good. Wish there were for Gluten Free options in dinner and desert. The show was great to watch, had a good moral to the story about acceptence. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the experience. Will be back again.
