Based on a 2005 film, the new musical Kinky Boots won 6 Tony Awards this year, including best musical. It is a “feel good” musical with an important message. The performance of Billy Porter as Simon/Lola was pretty remarkable and worthy of the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical. He was definitely working hard.

I’m glad I got to see it, in a prime seat no less – Mezzanine, Row A, Seat 1 (on the aisle). The price of theater tickets, however, is out of control. No matter how good the two and a half hours of entertainment – it’s not worth $150.
