Awesome show! Music was fatastic! Seat was not bad for being so high!
The Gammage is a beautiful theatre but has some issues with sound quality. So I will not attend any performance unless I can get great seats. Earphones help but I don't like them. The show was great fun & kept the audience's attention (people were actually quite). As a little preview to the live performance, we watched the movie & knew the story. Steven Booth as Charlie & Kyle Taylor Parker as Lola were FANTASTIC. Kyle stood out in his transformations & superb vocals. The stage settings were thoughtfully designed & moved flawlessly from scene to scene. Kerry Lengel, theater critic for the AZ Republic did not like the show & to this I can only suggest he's another expert that probably doesn't like much of anything..... This was a very enjoyable show, excellent touring troupe & I highly recommend it. Cheers. JJ
Love it, Love it, Love it!! I would see it again! I can see how it won 6 Tony awards. Great job on costumes, set, lighting.....everything.
We saw Kinky Boots in NYC a few weeks prior to winning all the awards and loved it. The traveling production was as good if not better than when we saw it on broadway! I'm not sure if that is because the seats were better or the cast was better- I know the audience was really enjoying it! Standing ovations! This is a MUST SEE Show! If there is anyway to get tickets, I would recommend this to everyone. And remember... accept people as they are!
We saw this show on Broadway last year and loved it so much that we returned and asked 3 friends to join us. Great show - Upbeat, entertaining and with a wonderful message,
Well-choreographed and staged; good entertainment. Lacks the subtlety of the movie, but it's what you would expect from a Broadway musical.
The music and dancing were wonderful. We really enjoyed the costuming and especially the Boots!
The production is excellent, the cast, the vocalists for all the songs, the costuming, the changing of scenes -- totally enjoyed the show and how it was presented. A great eve foe me and my group. Thank you!
Was not what I was anticipating. The plot was there but the excitement wasn't. The music seemed bland and If it weren't for Lola I probably would have left at intermission. Some songs were simply painful to sit through. Not a one had any catchy riff that stuck with me.
The show is amazing. Ome of the best shows I've seen.
excellent t production, however the sound system needs some work.
We loved the show, probably one of the best we have seen at Gammage.
The production and the story line were really good. The actors in the production were spot on. Would definitely recommend everybody see this production.
The choreography, songs, story line and set made this a feast for the eyes, ears, and heart! What a wonderful uplifting way to spend an evening; felt like a mini vacation!
I loved the message, loved many of the songs. Just left with the feeling that we got the understudies for a couple of the main characters. Since the understudies were not used in this particular performance, I have to wonder if it was just an off night. Something Gammage doesn't tell you…. Show up at least an hour early, they don't have enough parking for a full house. I had to park 5 blocks away after sitting in stand still traffic for 45 minutes. Missed the first 15 minutes waiting in the lobby.
We liked the movie but we loved the play. The songs were great and stage setting were awesome. I can see why it was won so many awarded. We will be seeing it again if we are lucky if they come back.
My face hurt from smiling through the entire show. So well done, great music, great dancing, costumes, sets, and acting. A heart felt story and so much fun!
Wonderful, full of joyous energy, cast excellent especially Lola. Bravo.
The music was upbeat and the actors were terrific. The message is inspiring. Came out of the show with a huge smile on my face.
