No-one was capable of seeing what will happen after the opening night of KINKY BOOTS at the Helsinki City Theatre August 30th, 2018. It seems that Kinky Boots is an unknown piece of musical theatre for the Finnish audiences, so the pre-sales and interest towards this musical was not the highest in the history of the Helsinki City Theatre. But something happened once the preview audiences got to see the production.
Since the very first preview, audiences have rewarded the cast with long standing ovations and praising comments. And once the production finally opened, the press rewarded the show with multiple ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews, stating that this is the biggest hit ever in the history of the Helsinki City Theatre! Once the word got out, and the reviews came in, the Helsinki City Theatre Box Office broke all its records during the following week - Kinky Boots sold more than 12 500 tickets alone in 1 week. And today (September 23rd, 2018), almost 95% of the tickets have been sold.
So it’s safe to say - KINKY BOOTS BECAME AN INSTANT HIT!
