Kinky Boots Reviews
DC Theater Arts- Recommended
"...Bringing this production its full measure of diva appeal is the gorgeous lineup of Lola's "Angels." Among the shining revelations here are Randyn Fullard, Michael Mattocks, Ariel Messeca, Solomon Parker, David Singleton, and Mark Sullivan. David Singleton performs double duty as the show's co-choreographer on those sultry "specialty" numbers."
MD Theatre Guide- Highly Recommended
"...The winter can be chilling in this part of the country, but "Kinky Boots" will heat up your season with this production that is both fun to watch but also brings us a message of tolerance for people who are different. Something we all should remember in this fractional time."
Theatre Bloom- Highly Recommended
"...The sex is in the heel! And the heels are all over that stage at Toby’s Dinner Theatre of Columbia as they are serving up a big old helping of Kinky Boots for dinner this winter. Marking the regional premiere of Harvey Fierstein and Cyndi Lauper’s Broadway sensation, Kinky Boots has a world of joy to offer. Under the superb direction of Mark Minnick, with Musical Direction by Ross Scott Rawlings, and Choreography by Mark Minnick & David Singleton, this zesty, fiery, fierce musical will infuse you with spirit and bring you pure unadulterated joy with their spellbinding storytelling, sensational singing, and delicious dancing."

"...In addition to Hirsch, director Minnick has cast some outstanding talent. As Lauren, a factory worker with a crush on Charlie, Jana Bernard has one of the best songs in the show, “The History of Wrong Guys.” As the title suggests, it’s a highly comedic piece, and while Bernard occasionally lapses into mawkish mugging, it’s such a fun ride you won’t care. Several smaller roles also make an impression: David James as George, the factory foreman, does a grand job with the part’s few lines and fills it with delightfully raised eyebrows; and Russell Sunday, as Don, takes what is essentially a standard small-minded guy part and gives it heart."
