We visited with the cast of the national touring production of Kinky Boots and posed five questions to them. No. 2:  What do you think Cyndi Lauper and other stars from pop music like David Byrne and Duncan Sheik are bringing to the Broadway musical that might encourage new theatre audiences?

Lauper won the Tony Award for writing the music and lyrics to Kinky Boots. Our guests are Kyle Taylor Parker, Steven Booth, Lindsay Nicole Chambers, Joe Coots, Grace Stockdale and David McDonald. Video by John Moore and David Lenk.

Coming next, Question 3: “Bullying is a major throughline of Kinky Boots. Were you ever bullied growing up?” 

The 2013 Tony-winning Best Musical written by Harvey Fierstein and Cyndi Lauper is now playing in Denver through Nov. 9. Call 303-894-4100 or go to www.denvercenter.org.
