Kinky Boots

I could tell you the plot here is about a small business trying to make it. How sons push against their fathers’ expectations. Or, the definition of a man. But what you really want to know about are the drag queens: Are they gorgeous? Are they sexy? Can they actually walk around in Mt. Rainier-high heels? The answer is, deliciously, yes and the entire production is one wonderfully absorbing shimmery spectacle; plenty of va va voom but also, piercingly poignant. (“Not My Father’s Son”)
