KINKY BOOTS Tickets Go On Sale 8/3

Broadway In Chicago has announced that single tickets for the pre-Broadway world premiere of KINKY BOOTS, a brand new musical that brings together four-time Tony® Award-winner Harvey Fierstein (Book) and Grammy® and Emmy Award-winner Cyndi Lauper (Music & Lyrics), will go on sale to the public Aug. 3., 2012 at 10 a.m. Directed and choreographed by Tony® Award-winner Jerry Mitchell, KINKY BOOTS will play the Bank of America Theatre (18 West Monroe Street) beginning Oct. 2 through Nov. 4, 2012.

In KINKY BOOTS, Charlie Price is forced to step in and save his family’s shoe factory in Northern England, following the sudden death of his father. Help comes from the unlikeliest angel, a fabulous drag performer named Lola. Together, this improbable duo revitalizes the failing business, while stepping out from their fathers' shadows and transforming an entire community through the power of acceptance.

Cyndi Lauper’s newest single “Sex is in the Heel,” is a remixed selection from KINKY BOOTS. The track is available for free download at www.KinkyBootstheMusical.com.
