Tonight is Twin Cities' debut for "Kinky Boots," the Tony Award winning musical that took home awards for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Choreography in 2013. Tickets range from $49 to $144 plus taxes/fees, but student/educator rush seats are available for $25 each.
Composed by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, it's a story that takes the audience from a gentlemen's shoe factory in Northampton to fashionable runways in Milan.
"Charlie Price is struggling to live up to his father's expectations and continue the family business of Price & Sons. With the factory's future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola, a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos.
With direction and choreography by two-time Tony® Award-winner Jerry Mitchell (Legally Blonde, Hairspray) and a book by Broadway legend and four-time Tony® Award-winner Harvey Fierstein (La Cage Aux Folles), KINKY BOOTS is the winner of 6 Broadway Tony® Awards," according to the write-up on Hennepin Theatre Trust's site.
Two hours before show time, students and teachers with ID can purchase two tickets per ID at the Orpheum box office. Only cash is accepted.
No lottery/drawing system is held for the general public for "Kinky Boots."
The shows runs July 28-Aug. 2.
