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.
