“Kinky Boots”: My Financial Times Review
The Financial Times has published my review of the new Cyndi Lauper musical, “Kinky Boots,” which has just opened on Broadway. Bottom line: ‘The production would be unthinkable without Billy Porter as Lola. Lola’s put-downs are priceless even when her jokes as written are not, and the actor transcends the generic Whitney and RuPaul touches to deliver a roaring success of a performance. The audience, which gets a rousing Mamma Mia!-like finale, goes home happy.’
