While New York Flocks to Jerry Mitchell’s Production of Kinky Boots, Shut Out Fans Find Rare Seats at HeadlineTickets.com

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) May 16, 2013

Based loosely on the indie film, “Kinky Boots,” the musical follows young Charlie Price, a British man who leaves the family’s shoe-making business to move in with his lady friend in London. After Charlie’s father dies unexpectedly, Charlie decides to return to the now-struggling shoe factory where he discovers he must figure out how to restore the business to success. A flamboyant drag queen who goes by the name Lola inspires Charlie to begin making ladies shoes for drag queens, a lucrative niche that has fallen through the cracks. Before long, Charlie’s shoe factory is back in action, churning out footwear under the brand name Kinky Boots, but neither man knows if this strange solution will actually succeed. HeadlineTickets.com still has tickets for all performances, but seats for Broadway’s newest darling are selling fast.

Jerry Mitchell has already made a name for himself on Broadway and brings his many years of experience to the Kinky Boots stage. He made his directing debut in Legally Blonde for which he received an Olivier Award for Best Musical, a Drama Desk nomination for choreography and a Tony nomination. Jerry went on to receive numerous awards (a Tony, an Outer Critics’ Circle and a Drama Desk for choreography) and critical accolades for the 2005 La Cage aux Folles revival. He has also been instrumental in the success of Broadway’s The Full Monty, Hairspray and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. His expertise in dance and direction have helped make Kinky Boots tickets one of New York’s hottest Broadway commodities.

In addition to fine directing and fresh choreography, the music of Cyndi Lauper combined with Harvey Fierstein’s sensitive writing have also made Kinky Boots tickets popular among New Yorkers. Known as a fierce but vulnerable misfit, Cyndi brings nearly 30 years of musical experience to Kinky Boots. She made her Broadway debut as an actress in the 2006 production of Three Penny Opera and has been nominated for 14 Grammy Awards over her long career. In 1985 alone, Cyndi took home a Grammy for Best New Artist and received four other nominations for the album “She’s so Unusual.” Her Kinky Boots score featured thought-provoking ballads like “Hold Me in Your Heart” and “I’m Not My Father’s Son,” along with powerful anthems such as “I Come to the Rescue” and “Raise You Up.” The main figure behind the Kinky Boots book is none other than Harvey Fierstein, who has worked his way into American hearts for many decades. His script puts the soul into Kinky Boots while effectively ramping up the emotional aspects of what would otherwise be an overly whimsical and light-hearted story.

Whether fans come for the sizzling stilettos, the fun yet dramatic performances or to witness a plethora of totally fab drag queens strutting their stuff on stage at the acclaimed Hirschfeld Theatre, Broadway-lovers continue to purchase Kinky Boots tickets as soon as they are available. HeadlineTickets.com, one of the leading secondary ticket providers on the Web, comes to the rescue with premium seats at affordable prices and without the added expense of the costly service fees most major ticket sellers incur.

Kinky Boots will appear at the Hirschfeld Theatre for an indefinite length of time and features talented actors like Tony-nominated Stark Sands as Charlie Price, Billy Porter in the inspirational role of Lola, Broadway veteran Annaleigh Ashford as Lauren and Daniel Stewart Sherman as Don. Don’t get shut out from ticket sales, visit Headline Tickets Now to get the best Kinky Boots tickets available.

Collecting Rare Books and First Editions – The Ring Comes to London

Caravanning & Camping Out by J. Harris Stone

The author was the founder of The Caravan Club, in 1907. It’s a very readable book, and depicts the very earliest days of caravanning when they were towed by horses and only a few hundred people (if that) had one. These early caravans bore most resemblance to the romanticised images of gypsy caravans of the past, although some looked like cottages on wheels! It’s a fascinating read, and there are plenty of pictures. It evokes a lot of nostalgia for a time when there were almost no cars on the road and caravans like this could meander about the countryside and stop anywhere.

The book is old enough that there is no date in anywhere, so I searched about the net to find out about it. Google was in fact unsuccessful – it came up with a few reference to the revised 1931 edition, and an American 1914 edition, but not the one I have. To the British Library! After a few searches there, I pinned it down. It’s a first edition, 1913, published by Herbert Jenkins, London (the publisher I knew, but not the date). This is the only reference I’ve been able to find to this edition on the net. Given that the few references to the 1931 edition I’ve seen are quoting -90 and the 1914 American editions are quoting 0 – 0, I would imagine this one is significantly more valuable… It’s in pretty good condition too (although, having said that, one edge of the spine cloth has split from opening it to take the pictures :( oops! It was pretty fragile).

The text itself is out of copyright, and can be read in full here.
