                          What a woman wants / Hold me in your heart / Raise you up/Just be.
                           Take what you got.

Tony award winner Best Musical Kinky boots is a modern catchy rhythmic musical with
an up-to date feel. It leaves behind traditional musicals and is great fun to put on in the
car CD. When it comes to the West End (originally a British film) I'm sure it will be
popular and if the book is good ,should do very well. Feel good show.*** (3*** at the moment)
