The touring Broadway musical “Kinky Boots” will strut its way into Stephens Auditorium on Thursday. The story is based on true events and, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, “struts its stuff with sparkles, stilettos and heart.”

“Kinky Boots” is based on a film of the same name, inspired by true events of Charlie Price, a struggling business man, who partners with Lola, a drag queen entertainer. Their teamwork and eventual friendship produces a line of trusty stilettos taking them from Northampton, Massachusetts to Milan, Italy.

“Kinky Boots” first opened in 2013 and has since earned six Tony awards and the Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album.

Many performers from outside of Broadway have taken roles in the show, including David Cook and Wayne Brady. Brendon Urie from Panic! At the Disco took up the role of Charlie Price for a brief time in 2017. Urie took over the role from Olivier Award-nominee Killian Donnelly.

“I’m thrilled to be making my Broadway debut with this fantastic company,” Urie said in a statement to Playbill. “I’m a huge fan of ‘Kinky Boots’ and musical theater, and am honored to be joining this cast.”

The musical features 16 original songs by Cyndi Lauper and choreography and direction by Tony award-winning Jerry Mitchell. The book was written by four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein.

The show closes its doors this April, making it the 25th longest running Broadway production. At the time of its closing, “Kinky Boots” will have play 2,507 regular shows and 34 previews, according to Entertainment Weekly.

“When we first set out to make this show, we never could have imagined the success it would have here on Broadway and around the world,” Lauper and Fierstein said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. “We speak on behalf of the entire company when we say how grateful we are to the fans who have embraced our work across four continents, and counting.”

“Kinky Boots” performs at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Stephens Auditorium. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. Tickets are available online at Ticketmaster.com, by call or in Stephens Auditorium’s box office. A pre-show dinner is available for this performance.
