This is one for the history books. Kinky Boots opened last night to raving audience members and so-so reviews (which we don’t understand because WE LOVED IT). The energy was through the roof and everybody was saying YEAH YEAH!!! We had the pleasure of attending the show and the opening night party and we had the best time of our lives! This was thee best opening night party we’ve been to (with Detroit ’67 a very close 2nd) The cast was on the dance floor and the champagne was pouring from everywhere but most of all the love was overflowing. Billy Porter is SURE to win a Tony for this show. There is no doubt in our minds. Remember we said it! It was so inspiring to see him back on the Broadway stage. His voice is still timeless

“The show, which opened Thursday night at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, is the sort of party for which you will be more than pleased to find yourself on the guest list.” – Peter Marks, The Washington Post
“…boasting a powerhouse performance from Billy Porter as Lola, the drag queen who’s also a trained boxer, the damn thing works.” – Erik Haagensen, Backstage
