A perfect fit? Yes, indeed, Kinky Boots at Baldwin Wallace University shows how much joy (and maybe enlightenment) a musical can bring.

This youthful and vigorous (and sold out) collegiate premiere, directed by Victoria Bussert, with Gregory Daniels as choreographer and Matthew Webb as music director, is true to the original Broadway hit, written by Harvey Fierstein with music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper. It is a pop musical with a real heart.
