Kinky Boots (Chicago) Tickets

A great show with an amazing score, Great staging and fantastic cast. Billy Porter was a show stealer that made a great show even better. I can't wait to see it again.

It was a great show. Think it will be even better when it hits Broadway.

The audience loved the show. You could tell that the songs were by Cindi Lauper, because the best songs were for the female parts. Lauren's song was very realistic. Lola was fantastic. HOWEVER, the mail lead needs to be recast; he was not strong enought

This is a must see. There was not a dull second. Fantastic music and fabulous dancing.

With a touching book by Harvey Fierstein, stirring music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper and top shelf singing and hoofing. This show is Broadway bound and Tony bound for Best Musical, period! First time I've witnessed a standing ovation at intermission.

Show is fairly faithful to the story line in the film. Loved Billy Porter's star turn as Lola. The rest of the cast is very strong too. Lots of energy and clever choreography and funny dialogue. Cyndi Lauper's score is wonderful. It's a joyful show with a positive message. I hope they have a great run on Broadway and garner some Tony Awards too.

Really enjoyed play.MUsic was great. Actors were suputb edpecially one whp plaYED CHARLIE

VERY NICE. EVERYBODY HAD A GOOD TIME. GOOD JUST TO RELAX. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE TOO CONSERVATIVE WHO HAVE PROBLEM ACCEPTING TRANSSEXUALS.

Sitting in my seat about halfway through Act I I realized Cyndi Lauper was sitting right across from me taking notes and, star-struck as I am, I could not take my attention from the fabulous production that she and Harvey Fierstein have created. Her music is divine and took us on an emotional journey with the two main characters and left us on our feet clapping along to the finale with smiles on our faces and hearts warmed as every good musical should leave its audience. The cast is strong and diverse and committed to the story which is one of friendship and acceptance and tenacity. Billy Porter is, well, beautiful as any man could be and delivers a sure Tony nomination performance even this early on in the show's preview process. Stark Sands as Charlie is the vulnerable young man on a hero's journey and looks and plays the part so compellingly and realistically I often forgot I was watching a musical until he started singing with that gorgeous voice. Annaleigh Ashford was adorable and we were left wanting more from her after her comedic performance of the number "The History of Wrong Guys". The choreography by phenom Director/Choreographer Jerry Mitchell was so creative. I'll just say wait until you see what he does at the end of Act I. It's crazy good. The entire cast was really an ensemble and I cannot recommend this show highly enough. See it before it leaves Chicago in early November because when it gets to Broadway, it's going to be tough to get tix.

Although i did not leave with any memorable songs, I felt Kinky Boots displayed energy, great story telling,strong character songs and some great choreographic moments. So much traffic was happening on the stage that I was happy I sat in the dress circle so I could take it all in. There were no dull moments even with the heavy songs in some instances. At the end of the first act, I comented that hadn't had as much fun at a show since CRAZY FOR YOU. The break up of Lola and Sam was well done in a powerful scene. The songs were very appropriate for all the chanracters even the love interests. The only section was confusing was the end song when all the characters came onto the stage. I idn't know if it was a curtain call or a memory. The confusion came at the end, otherwise I thought the musical had all stron points. I kept asking myself if I would change anyhting, and, except for the end, I liked it the way it was. I lost myself in the story and characters and that is a tribute to the entire production team.

Very entertaining for the most part. With the transition from the movie to the musical, I must say that I did miss the songs during the Milan shoe fair from the movie. I guess that Cyndi Lauper's music was used, which makes sense for the musical, but it didn't have the punch of the medley, These Boots Are Made for Walking, Not in These Shoes, Cha Cha Heels, and Zippin' Up My Boots. Also, while I enjoyed the music for the production numbers, the solos by Charlie and by Lola were pretty much forgettable. Overall, I enjoyed it and would recommend it.

It was very entertaining. The costumes were amazing. The songs were great. Would see it again.

I loved, the music, the cast, the set , the costumes and of course the story. I haven't laughed that hard for a long time and yet at times I was touched to tears. I can totally recommend seeing this musical

Heart warming and fun. Really enjoyable evening, the following morning I still had a happy feeling after the show.

Great show. Billy Porter is amazing, and Cyndi Lauper's score is fantastic. Highly recommend this show. Go see it and get the chance to see a show early in its development before it becomes a big hit on Broadway.

I really really really enjoyed this show. I'm a fan of the movie so I couldn't wait to see the play. And it was really good. I do think it needs some tweaking here and there; for example, that 'father song' when both the main male characters are in the bathroom needs to be cut down. The song it was too long! And some other things should be revised. But overall it was good entertaining fast paced show. Totally recommended.

Great perfomances and music! Accents need work. WOnderful music and dancing.

Kinky Boots was inspiring!! it was an uplifting, positive, and exciting with beautiful and fun music, eye popping costumes and a wonderfully thoughtful story.

The show needs to be tightened up. A disappointing beginning to the first act. It needs more fun/exciting dialog and music. It was slow and ponderous. Celina Carvajal (Nicola) was the weakest of all the characters. Annaleigh Ashford (Lauren) was strong with acting and singing. She should have another song somewher in the show. StarkSands and Billy Porter were good and will get stronger as the show has more performances. All the actors needed to miked better for sound, especially for the soft dialog and songs. The "Angels" were really good and fun to weatch. They were totally in the show much to the audiences delight. All in all this has the potential to be a darned good show with a lot of laughs and good music. It would be interesting to see it when it is on Broadway and see if any changes were made.

Saw the show on its second night in Chicago and it was amazing! So exciting to see and hear a new show, new music. I expect Kinky Boots will be a long-running hit on Broadway!
