While some politicians may think it's a privilege to pee in the room that matches your gender identity, the Broadway cast of KINKY BOOTS follows their musical's credo, "You change the world when you change your mind."

So Cyndi Lauper's insanely catchy and uplifting anthem to self-identity that serves as their finale, "Just Be (Who You Wanna Be)" has been tweaked a bit to address the current issue of who may be allowed to use which room to relive themselves.

In a wildly fun music video, Lauper, bookwriter Harvey Fierstein and the cast now joyously proclaim "Just Pee (Where You Wanna Pee)" promoting the notion that where you decide to do your business is really nobody else's business.

Kinky Boots, led by producers Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig, won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Musical and is now in its 4th smash year on Broadway. The show is also playing hit productions in London's West End, Toronto, with upcoming productions announced for Australia, Japan, Korea and more.

KINKY BOOTS tells the uplifting and heartwarming tale of Charlie Price, a young man reluctantly taking over his family's struggling business. Charlie meets and finds inspiration in Lola and together, the unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible... and discovers that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world. The winner of six 2013 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Kinky Boots features a Tony Award-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, a book by Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, and direction and choreography by Tony Award- winner Jerry Mitchell. The Grammy Award-winning Original Broadway Cast Recording of Kinky Boots is available on Sony Masterworks Broadway.
