The Review: Kinky Boots

Kinky Boots 7/10

This past weekend my lady let me pick some movies to watch and thankfully they didn't stink. We started with Kinky Boots. I somehow had never seen this movie but have seen the live stage show multiple times and wanna see it again. I will admit it was odd seeing a story I knew but without them singing about what was happening. I will say though that the story is pretty much the same except for one change that was not major in any way and the meaning had the same impact.

Curtain Call: Kinky Boots

Kinky Boots 9/10

I finally got to see Kinky Boots again! This is my fourth time seeing the show and every time I have its always different people playing the parts. One guy will better a better Lola. Another a better Charlie. This time everyone was the best version of these characters. If you are wondering why I didn't give this a 10/10 it is because the sound issues at The Hollywood Bowl. Like...its the fucking Hollywood Bowl. Why are they having sound issues? Regardless, it was much better than the sound at Pantages where I've seen this three previous times and adapted to the bad sound system. Also they had kids perform again. Its only happened the first time I'd seen the play. Since 2020 I have missed being able to go see this show because it has become a tradition.

Kinky Boots At The Pantages Theater

Last week Cam and I went to see Kinky Boots at the Pantages Theater. It is an amazing show about a kid named Charlie Price played by Steven Booth. After his father, the owner of the family business Price and Son, passes away after Charlie moves to London with his fiancee he reluctantly takes over the business. Mixed into this tale is the story of a young boy playing in high heels before his father screams at him to stop.

As Charlie tries to figure out how to keep the business afloat and pay the employees he attempts to stop a fight between two men and a “lady.” Charlie is knocked out and the lady is a drag queen named Lola played by Kyle Taylor Parker. Okay. This man can sing his ass off. Everyone involved was good but I'll be damned if I didn't clap like crazy after every song featuring Lola that much harder. Lola tells Charlie that she broke her heel on his head and Charlie mentions that he owns a shoe company.
