Kinky Boots, the winner of six 2013 Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, will tonight celebrate its 1500th performance on Broadway at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre (302 West 45th Street).

Featuring a Tony® Award-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, a book by Tony® Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, and with direction and choreography by Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell, Kinky Boots has won every major Best Musical Award since it opened on April 4, 2013.

The show is represented around the world with the Tony Award-winning Broadway company now in its fourth year, a North American First National Tour in its third year, a London production in its second year (where it won the 2016 Olivier Award for Best Musical) and a Korean production that opened in September 2016 (a previous Korean production played in 2014). An Australian production recently opened in October 2016.

Other previous productions include an extended run in Toronto and a Japanese language production. The Grammy Award-winning Original Broadway Cast Recording of Kinky Boots is available on Sony Masterworks Broadway.
