KINKY BOOTS at the movies

Saw KINKY BOOTS on the big screen here in Kansas City this afternoon.  I had forgot how totally fun this show is although I'm still bothered by the sudden character turn by Charlie that seems to come out of nowhere to keep the plot going in ACT 2.

Interesting today that sitting in the movie theater in the row behind me was David Cook's mother (he is from KC).  At the intermission she talked about seeing her son perform Charlie on Broadway.  The woman sitting right next to her (along with her teenage girls) had no clue about who David Cook was.  His mom said, "he is an American Idol winner."  The group shrugged.  I know he won the contest a long while ago, but I thought most people would remember the local winner.
