Kinky Boots tour lately

has anyone seen the current touring cast lately? What where your thoughts? How's it holding up? Especially concern the leads J Harrison Ghee and Adam Kaplan. The show is in town and I am wrestling with seeing it again- saw it on Broadway multiple times and on tour as well (with the original touring cast and also when Darius Harper was on for Lola). It will be hard for me to squeeze it in my schedule and money is kinda tight, but if it's worth it, I'd try and go. Thanks in Advance!!

I saw the show in Austin and San Antonio. I loved it! The lead is a fabulous Lola. Adam Kaplan is very talented....and so friggin' cute ( in a boy next door way). BTW, welcome back Daryl.

I saw it in Atlanta last week and thought everyone was fantastic. It was the only time I've seen the show, so I had nothing to compare it to, but I really liked it.

Does anyone know if the tour offers lottery or rush? It is coming to my city next year. Although I saw it on Broadway it is the only show of our package that I have any interest in seeing.

I think the only tours that offer lottery are Wicked and The Book of Mormon. I am sure there is some type of rush though. You can find out more information by contacting the box office of the venue where the show will be playing at.

I'm reviving this thread because I noticed recently that for the tour's Cleveland and now Chicago engagements, part of the set looks very different than it used to. I'm seeing pictures of the stage on instagram, and it looks like they have replaced the three-dimensional factory facade that serves as the pre show curtain with a flat, painted scrim/canvas thing in it's place. It doesn't even have the little green door leading into the factory that the original set has. Does anyone know what's up with this? It doesn't look good, but I assume they must have a reason for making that change.

My question is, why does the tour Lola sound like The Chief from Carmen Sandiego?

Did they change it before Cleveland or even earlier?

I also heard the actors got a pay cut. That really sucks.

Yes, it is now a flat canvas with the factory sign detached. There is no door and every actor enters through stage right. It looks fine, but you can occasionally see the set being moved around behind the canvas.

isn't the tour now on a SETA contract?

Any other visual changes? Or is it mostly behind the scenes stuff?

I saw the show on broadway shortly before the tony awards from the far left side of the front mezzo, from that vantage point I could see that the pleather wasn't actually getting cut in step one. It just has pre cut pieces within the roll.
