Japan tour: musical “TOP HAT” open dress rehearsal

Above all, the large-group tap dance is truly overwhelming.

Perhaps because it was famous in Fred Astaire’s films, this piece felt very familiar.

Just hearing the music makes the tapping spring to mind.

It has a rhythmic, pleasantly lively feel.

I’d love to see it live.

Callum Francis – The BEST Lola in Kinky Boots

In the Japanese production, Haruma Miura starred in the Broadway musical Kinky Boots.

The story follows a gentleman’s shoe factory on the brink of bankruptcy that turns its fortunes around after meeting the drag queen Lola.

The piece introduced here is Lola’s World, which is used during Lola’s entrance scene.

It’s a song that conveys the glamour and resilience of drag queens.

The musical numbers in Kinky Boots were written by singer-songwriter Cyndi Lauper.

Her signature pop craftsmanship, infused with gospel elements, makes the songs enjoyable on their own.
