The cast was truly talented! Haven't been to a good play in a long while. Unfortunately the sound was awful and my husband and I could not follow most of the song lyrics at this venue. And no I'm not that old!
well done from start to finish....great music, acting, and dancing. Accents so good we thought all the actors were British
The three stars are for Lola, she was fabulous - great acting & singing voice. The rest of the performance was mediocre at best - the male lead had no stage presence & wasn't a very good singer, there was no dancing, & the story was not told well - maybe because it was difficult to hear the lyrics when they were singing. The last number is great & the overall message of the show is important, but I fell asleep waiting for the good bits.
It was amazing. I can't remember the last time I have enjoyed something so much!!!

Loved the show. Great talent. Lola is the best of all. Amazing singing voice.The costumes are fantastic, loved all the boots! :) One of the main character wasn't available so someone else took his place. He did a good job overall but could benefit taking singing lessons. It was pitchy. Thanks for a great show... You ask to upload photos but we were not alloyed to take pictures...
The male lead was not a strong actor or singer and we cringed through some of the off key songs.
Kinky Boots was a fun, lively show with a true message. I did find that the music drowned out the lyrics on some of the songs.
Broadway across Canada never disappoints. Kinky Boots was a fantastic show. The performers were awesome. Loved the story line and the way the audience reacted to the show. Wonderful experience.
