KINKY BOOTS producers Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig, along with Grammy and Tony Award-winner Cyndi Lauper and Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, are encouraging people to get out the vote on November 8th. Fierstein and Lauper surprised a recent audience at the Tony Award-winning musical, and joined the cast on stage for a reworked version of the show's Act 1 finale "Everybody Say Yeah," and then helped patrons register to vote. Watch video of Lauper & Fierstein's appearance below!
"Because of its subject and its message, Kinky Boots has the rare opportunity to be part of the political conversation," Fierstein said. "Hopefully, this fun little rewrite of "Everybody Say Yeah" will remind some people to register before it's too late, and make sure their voices are heard on November 8th."
Anyone can register online to vote instantly at kinky.vote.
Here are the lyrics to "Everybody Voter Say Yeah":
It's time to get out the vote and express your views
It's your responsibility
Impact the future with who you choose
Talk about liberty
'Cause on November 8th it's going down
So do it for your nation
Get up, get online, and get in step
With our Kinky registration
Every voter say yeah (yeah)
Say yeah (yeah)
Say yeah (yeah)
Say yeah (yeah)
Yeah
(spoken)
Democrats, Republicans, and those who have yet to make up their minds
We want each and every one of you to get out there and vote on Election Day
Remember, your vote is your voice, and not everybody's going to like it
But you gotta let it be heard
Kinky Boots tells the uplifting and heartwarming tale of Charlie Price, a young man reluctantly taking over his family's struggling shoe factory and looking for a fresh idea. Charlie meets and finds inspiration in Lola and together, they discover that it takes a good friend to make a great pair.
