BOOTS SO KINKY
I'll just bet that you had no clue that the musical Kinky Boots was based on real-and-for-true things that actually happened, now did you? Well, I am fairly certain that there was a lot less spontaneous bursting into song by Cyndi Lauper in real life, but still: drag performer saves the old family shoe factory by inspiring them to make custom fetish footwear instead of boring old wing tips, adventures in queer culture ensue! It's nothing if not a testament to the transformative power of drag queens, and with the book by Harvey Fierstein and the score by Lady Lauper, you could replace all the drag queens with coal miners and the thing would still be gay as goose eggs. And since it runs through October 26, you have no excuse not to experience the singy, pervy, booty magic of it all. 5th Avenue Theatre, 7:30 pm, $45–$115, all ages.
