MAX Goes to the Theatre Online: Kinky Boots

During this time of social distancing, we're trying something new at MAX:

We're going to create a virtual shared theatrical experience!

For this first event, join co-champions Bruce Cecil and Michael Meehan online on Tuesday April 7^th, from 7:00pm to 8:30pm, to discuss Kinky Boots. 

Kinky Boots is a Tony Award, Grammy Award, and Oliver Award-winning hit musical from pop icon Cyndi Lauper and legendary playwright Harvey Fierstein.

Kinky Boots tells the story of two men who could not follow in their father's footsteps: Charlie, a factory owner struggling to save his family shoe business, and Lola, a powerhouse drag performer whose stiletto heels keep breaking.  With a little compassion and a lot of understanding, this unexpected pair learn to embrace their differences, build a friendship, and create a line of sturdy stilettos unlike any the world has ever seen!

Kinky Boots is available online from BroadwayHD.  BroadwayHD offers a seven-day free trial, after which the charge is $8.99/month.
