Kinky Boots tells the story of a young man named Charlie who inherits his father’s struggling shoe factory. The business transforms when Charlie’s new friend Lola persuades him to sell thigh-high stiletto boots to clients with a flair for the fabulous. Kinky Boots is full of fun, heart-warming songs that underscore the show's philosophy: “you change the world when you change your mind.”

Kinky Boots won six Tony Awards in 2013, including Best Musical. Pop legend Cyndi Lauper received a Tony for writing the score, and Harvey Fierstein wrote the book for the show. Tony winner Jerry Mitchell choreographs and directs. 

This year, the show celebrates its fifth year on Broadway. There is also a touring company sharing this uplifting show throughout the United States, as well as several other productions around the world.

Jake Shears, with Scott “Babydaddy” Hoffman, is one of the founding members of Scissor Sisters. The group’s biggest hit is “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’,” which appeared on the 2006 album Ta-Dah. Shears helped write many of the group’s songs and is a gifted vocalist, which you’ll see in his Broadway debut! 

Pentatonix formed through the NBC program “The Sing-off” in 2011, with Kirstin Maldonado as one of the five founding members. Since then, the group has received three Grammy awards, and seven of their albums have hit the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart. Maldonado and her fellow members have achieved massive success on YouTube and in live performances worldwide.
