Music by Stephen Flaherty
Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens

Book by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty

Co-Conceived by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty and Eric Idle

Based on the Works of Dr. Seuss

With the use of their imagination and with a little help from The Cat in the Hat, Jojo shows us the story of Horton the elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the world of Who. Can Horton protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers? Will Jojo's imagination get him in trouble? Will Horton ever notice Gertrude? Well, in the Wubulus World of Dr. Suess, what do YOU think?

Thank you for the review, @mdtheatreguide!

"The time seems to zip right by until, sadly, we are at the end. Many in the audience didn’t want it to be over and just stood there hoping for more. Sadly, many states in this country today have laws that would prevent productions of “Kinky Boots.” We are lucky that, here in Maryland, we get a chance to share this joy and maybe learn a bit about others who are not like us—and a little about how we are all really the same."

Second review! "Kinky Boots demands a diva performance, divine dance moves, daring dresses, and working-class heart. This production delivers every bit of that and more."

The audience at Saturday's Miscast Cabaret got a special treat: a sneak peek of "Charlie and Lola" from Kinky Boots, performed by the talented Xander Conte and Joshua Franklin! We hope you enjoy this preview!

Imagine the spark of inspiration that lit up when director Jeremy Goldman and his family witnessed the magic of Kinky Boots on Broadway, with J. Harrison Ghee shining bright as Lola. Earlier this month, J. Harrison sent that same spark of inspiration back to our cast!

These amazing people are doing amazing things for Kinky Boots! We can't wait to see what it will look like on stage! Thank you to all of the volunteers who bring theatrical visions to life!
