Kinky Boots - Red Bank

Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre at Count Basie Center, Red Bank, NJ
Kinky Boots is a Musical that has been wowing Audiences since its Broadway debut in 2013. With a powerful message of Acceptance and an energetic score by Cyndi Lauper, this show is a feast for both the eyes and ears. But what makes it truly spectacular is the way it crafts an emotional arc that resonates with everyone, regardless of background. Whether you're new to theater or a seasoned pro, the red, thigh-high boots in this show will kick up your love for live performances.

Now, let's talk about the best seats in the house. Considering the show has multiple high-energy dance numbers, including Conveyor belt choreography, you'll want to be somewhere you can take in the full stage. Aim for the orchestra center, or the first few rows of the front mezzanine. These seats give you an excellent vantage point for the elaborate set designs and quick costume changes. But, if you prefer a closer look at the actors' expressions and nuances, then the front rows of the orchestra would be your best bet. For those seeking a little extra legroom, aisle seats in these sections are also highly sought after.

The show often tours the United States, with stops at various venues from coast to coast. While the layout of each theater can differ, these seating recommendations generally hold true. In cases where the venue has a balcony, it's a viable option for those on a budget, although you might miss some of the detailed action on stage.

Speaking of budgets, ticket prices can vary significantly. On the lower end, you can find balcony or rear mezzanine tickets starting at around $40 to $50. While cost-effective, these seats do come with the trade-off of being farther from the stage. On the flip side, premium orchestra and front mezzanine seats can go upwards of $200, depending on the theater and time of year. If you're looking for a middle-ground, consider seats in the mid-to-rear orchestra or the front rows of the rear mezzanine; they typically cost between $100 and $150 and offer a good balance of view and value.

Discount opportunities are worth looking into. Last-minute rush tickets and lotteries can offer seats at a lower price point. Matinee and weekday performances usually have more availability and are often less expensive than evening or weekend shows. But remember, cheaper isn’t always better when it comes to your experience. Sometimes it's worth the extra investment for a more impactful show.

Kinky Boots is a production that thrives on audience energy. You'll find yourself clapping along to hits like "Raise You Up" and "Just Be," and there's a palpable feeling of community and acceptance in the theater. You'll be laughing, crying, and dancing in your seat, regardless of where that seat is. The story of Charlie Price and Lola, characters from entirely different worlds who find common ground in the struggle for acceptance, continues to be relevant and touching. Their friendship serves as the emotional backbone of a show that is as entertaining as it is important. And the high-heeled boots? They serve as a dazzling reminder that the right piece of footwear can change your life, but the right perspective can change the world.
