Few things are more satisfying forChicago theater fans than when oneof the city’s frequent pre-Broadwaytryouts goes on to great success inNew York and then returns for a vic-tory lap.

Such is the case this week with KinkyBoots, the energetic musical fromthe legendary team of Cyndi Lauper,Jerry Mitchell and Harvey Fierstein,which returns – with a trunk full ofTony awards – to the city that helpedget it on its high-heeled feet. Inspiredby actual events, it’s a story thattravels from a gentlemen’s shoe fac-tory in Northampton to the glam-orous catwalks of Milan to celebratethe friendships we discover in life andthe belief that people can change theworld simply by changing theirminds.

Kinky Boots marches into Chicago forits encore run beginning Tuesday atthe Cadillac Palace Theatre, 151 W. Randolph. Tickets ($22-$87) are available at 312.384.1502 or ticketmaster.com.
