kinky boots (film)
"the new york times" noted that in the 2012–13 season, most of the new broadway musicals were "inspired by movies or books". the paper found the show timely for its treatment of problems that paralleled those at the time of its production, including "chronic unemployment, financial distress and the collapse of manufacturing". prior to the june 9, 2013 tony awards, "kinky boots" had trailed its box office competitor, "matilda the musical", in advance sales. however, less than a month after opening, "kinky boots" surpassed this rival in weekly box office gross. "kinky boots" won a season-high six tony awards, including best musical. the next day, the show sold $1.25 million tickets, and its advance ticket sales for future dates became a hot commodity. in the weeks following its tony wins, the show became so popular that in the beginning of july a special ticket lottery system was created to keep fans from camping outside the theatre. "kinky boots" set a new box-office record at the al hirschfeld theatre, and "recouped its $13.5 million capitalization in a relatively quick 30 weeks of performances", which was "faster than any big budget musical in recent history." in october 2013, "kinky boots" had the second highest premium-price tickets on broadway behind only "the book of mormon". after its six-year run (closing on april 7, 2019), the show had grossed $319 million. following christopher balme’s commodification paradigm, one could suggest "kinky boots"’ unprecedented financial power is a consequence of the musical’s ability to “tap into aspects of a society's ideological make-up”, such as issues regarding financial strife and lgbti discrimination.
