Kinky Boots Program 2022 by Red Mountain Theatre

THANK YOU TO OUR

21-22 SEASON SPONSORS

Welcome You probably remember the moment in March of 2020 when the world seemed to stop in its tracks. Plans were abruptly halted as we all grappled to find the safest path forward. RMT certainly faced our share of postponing, cancelling, and reimagining literally everything. But there was one show we simply couldn’t walk away from, and now, finally, we are thrilled to be back in the theatre together for Kinky Boots! The pandemic couldn’t stop the fabulousness … it only prolonged the anticipation. You may know that this musical romp’s primary message is to be unabashedly YOU! Our deepest hope is that you experience it as a true celebration of you as a unique human being and a vital part of our show. Thank you for bringing your whole self through our doors, because we simply wouldn’t be US without YOU! Next month, bring yourself back for Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, filled with all the music you know and love, but with a few modern tweaks. Just after that, the curtain will rise on our 2022-2023 season, which brings even more amazing stories to life, like Dreamgirls, Shrek the Musical and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It’s all happening here at Red Mountain Theatre, and all we need is YOU.
