“I’ve enjoyed the experience a lot, and I’ve enjoyed working with the people on cast and crew,” junior crew member Ryan Richert said. “It’s been a highlight of my time at high school.”

Southwest Theatre announced they were putting on their production of “Kinky Boots” after the theatre was selected by Music Theatre International, a theatrical licensing agency based in New York City, to put on the show. 

The original broadway production of the “Kinky Boots” soundtrack was composed by famous pop star Cyndi Lauper. The original production was nominated for 13 Tony Awards, winning six at the 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical.  

“It was an amazing opportunity to be the first school in the nation to put on Kinky Boots and I’m honored to be part of the production,” senior cast member Charis Erickson said.

There will be three more performances of “Kinky Boots” on Dec. 9,10,11 at 7:00 p.m.
