The Best Of The Tony's: The Broadway Shows You Need To See

"Kinky Boots"

  Last night, "Kinky Boots" won best new musical, and the talented cast of this funny musical definitely deserved it. "Kinky Boots" may be based on the quintessential 'opposites attract' story line but the plot is anything but ordinary. Plot: Charlie Price inherits his family's run-down shoe factory in New England. In order to save the business, he merges with the flamboyant drag performer Lola, played by Billy Porter. Together, Lola and Charlie save the business and transform the community in this heart warming, must-see story of friendship and acceptance.
