The regional premiere of Kinky Boots in early 2020 was a highlight of the 101st season at Peoria Players Theatre. The winner of every major “Best Musical” award, the show features 16 original songs by Cyndi Lauper and tells the story of two people who learn to embrace their differences while creating a line of stilettos unlike any the world has ever seen. Directed by Deric Kimler, the Players’ exuberant production featured a talented cast led by theater veterans Adam Sitton and Bryan Blanks, music direction by Andrea Molina, and an amazing crew working behind the scenes on set design and construction, costume design, stage management, choreography and more.
