This past week, Omaha was treated to Kinky Boots. While I wasn't able to see Kinky Boots while it was in Omaha, I did see it last March on Broadway while I was in New York City. As someone who has seen a few shows, I like to think of myself as someone who knows a thing or two about a Broadway show, and I LOVED Kinky Boots.
From the moment it started, I was at the edge of my seat. The music, the dancing, and the costumes were so spot on I was hooked. I couldn't get enough.
I first learned of Kinky Boots from my uncle the year prior while watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. The show had stopped on the green carpet in front of Macy's to perform one of their signature songs. I knew that once I arrived in the Big Apple, I had to see it.
TKTS, a discounted ticket booth in Times Square was selling tickets, and after waiting in line for over an hour, the ticket was all mine. I was up in the seat dancing (yes, literally) the entire time. Once it ended I called my uncle (and my mother who was texting me non-stop) to tell them how much I loved it.
So, when I saw it was coming to Omaha this past weekend, I knew my parents had to attend. After visiting with them this past Sunday, I was able to confirm what I already knew: they loved it.
Everyone I know loves it. Great show with a great message of acceptance. This March as I venture back to NYC, I hope to make my second trip to theatre.
