Various Artists - Kinky Boots Original Broadway Cast Recording [Fuchsia Vinyl]
The music’s by Cyndi Lauper. The book’s by Harvey Fierstein. It garnered 13 Tony Award nominations, and won 6 of them including Best Musical, Best Actor (for Billy Porter), and Best Score. The cast album (this one right here) soared on the Billboard charts (#1 on the Cast Albums chart), and “Sex in the Heel” was the first Broadway song to hit the Top Ten on the Club charts in 25 years. And it’s been 12 years since the album was released. So how, in the name of the gender-fluid deity of your choice, can it be that a vinyl version of Kinky Boots has never hit record stores?! Well, all we can do is to make sure that this long-awaited release is worth the wait. And folks, with two fabulous fuchsia LPs clad in a gorgeous gatefold jacket containing a full-color insert, we think it’s safe to say that we have, er, put our best feet forward with our vinyl Kinky Boots! This musical’s message of acceptance and empowerment is more timely than ever, and we defy you not to have a lump in your throat for the curtain-closer “Raise You Up/Just Be.” High-kicking fun!1. A1.
