NEW YORK (AP) — A new musical bringing together Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein and rock icon Cyndi Lauper will put its best foot forward in Chicago this fall.
"Kinky Boots" will make its world premiere at the Bank of America Theatre in October ahead of a possible Broadway transfer, producers Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig said Wednesday.The musical is based on the 2005 British movie about a failing shoe factory that's struggling following the death of its founder until it finds new life in fetish footwear.
Fierstein, known for his witty musicals like "La Cage Aux Folles" and "Newsies," pushed to have Lauper make her theatrical debut with music and lyrics for "Kinky Boots."
"She has one of those big-fat-all-over-the-place-you-can't-hide-it-hearts," he said. "There are just some people that you can't hide it with at all, and she's one of those people." More About
