Leave it to Harvey Fierstein and Cyndi Lauper to take the true story of an English shoe factory that was saved from the brink of bankruptcy by a drag queen looking for footwear and turn it into a rollicking, sexy hit musical. That’s exactly what they’ve done in Kinky Boots, the Broadway Sacramento show now at the Community Center Theater. Shall we say it’s a kick? 8 p.m. Thursday, February 2, through Saturday, February 4; 2 p.m. Thursday, February 2, through Sunday, February 5; $25-$100. Community Center Theater, 1301 L Street; (916) 557-1999, www.californiamusicaltheatre.com.
