What's your favourite Kinky Boots number?
My favourit number of Kinky boots are Raise you up!!!
All of them🙃✨❤️
This one :)
All of them are amazing, for me especially Raise you up!!
Raise You Up / Just Be, it's one of my favourite musical theatre numbers in general.
So many children can identify with this. So much pain through many generations. When will we accept our children for who they are? Why is it so hard?
Because we all have a picture in our head of what’s right, what’s wrong, and what’s successful. Unfortunately, that picture isn’t done with chalk, so it’s not so easily erased or changed by anything.

Don't know why, but the song always made me tear up. The deep meaning behind all the lyrics. ❤ There's always something about father and son relationship that tug my heartstrings.
100% a Special song for those of us who are gay and ours Dads. A gift for sure. And a prayer to my sweet Dad in Heaven. 🙏
Definitely makes me tears up
Theirs is my favorite version of every cast I've seen, the emotions that they both put in are absolutely amazing and their voices together sound so beautiful. They make me cry every time I watch
I couldn't agree more
Matt Henry is just perfect in this song, his voice and whole performance is heartbreaking yet comforting at the same time. When I saw the musical for the first time I sobbed uncontrolably the whole way through this scene and I always come back to it.
Matt Henry la tua voce e la tua interpretazione mi fa pensare che se qualcosa di più grande di noi esiste ha voluto manifestarsi sulla terra attraverso te
In the 80s- who’d know
Cyndi Lauper would write such fantastic and deep songs?
What a poignantly incredible performance! One can sense the pain, the desperation, the joy, the hope, all just underneath the surface of his singing. Wow!
I love watching this performance, they really look like they are having a conversation, not singing songs... Matt's expressions and body language make this spectacular and their voices at the end harmonize perfectly.
I think something I just really love about this Charlie is that Killian Donnelly just looks so much more... working man than most. Like if you look up Charlie actor they're almost all 'Ken doll" or "pretty boy" hansome (which is not a bad thing just a thing I've noticed) while Killian kinda more embodies what you well stereotype as "worked in a factory and trying to get out of that life" like he's clean cut but he's got facial hair, and his clothes are nice but he's built like he could hold his own at a pub (drinking or fighting)
I just really apprciated that.
He really only wore a beard here because he was returning to the role just for this filming, but was playing Jean Valjean in Les Mis full time at this point. He was clean shaven when he usually played Charlie.
@@ellie1981 wow just looked it up and yeah... I stand by liking the facial hair version XD
Hard not to sob to this song. So touching x
I'm just in love with Matt Henry's Lola :)) he portrayed the emotions of the character so well in this song not only with his voice but with body language as well
Don’t know if anyone will see this. But I heard this for the first time last night. I’m a trans woman, and not out to my parents yet. The “I’m not my fathers son” it me like a ton of bricks. It’s crazy how music can affect us, wow.
Be well and be you anyone who sees this.
Hi, I’m literally In the Same Situation as A younger Trans Girl in a Christian household, I just watched this adaptation in full just this afternoon and Bawled in the bathroom during this scene. It was actually one of the only times I’ve felt beautiful.
I Love you and God bless you on your journey 🏳️⚧️❤️
Vacationed in London a few years ago, and a guy I met there took me to see this show in West End district. I burst into tears in the middle of this number, sobbing uncontrollably. Poor fella...all he could do was lean over to me and ask, 'are you okay'? Yes dear, I was just fine...he had no idea that moment, that evening was the highlight of my whole trip.
Wow... I thought no one could come close to Stark and Billy, but I was wrong. These guys create the same piercing emotions, and are so much closer than a mere "close second". Fantastic performance.
Kinky Boots is infinitely better in the UK productions. The Americans trying to do the accents is so bad generally. Including the original Broadway cast imo.
I'm performing as Charlie with my local company in 4 weeks. The guy playing Lola is incredible and I am so intimidated when I have to join him in this song!!! So beautiful ❤️
Break a leg and congratulations! I’m sure you’ll be great!
How did it go? I'll bet you nailed it!
@@edwardmeradith2419 that's such a kind thing to say, thank you! It went amazingly and performing this song was one of the most special moments I've ever had on stage.
@@Guitar1nHand do you have a video? Plzzzzzzzz.❤
Think about it Killian has probably heard this song so many times yet it still brings a tear to his eye. Pure emotion.
Just the way Matt performs.. ❤️
I've heard this song and different videos and versions so many times, and everytime I come to a point where I have to hold my sobs and breathing becomes difficult.
I'm a trans guy and a musical nerd, this is where I go when I need to cry
This is pure magic. This song connects to me and many others. Pure magic . Thank you Lola 💜
It's his voice! He's an angel.
When I was just a kid
Everything I did, was to be like him
Under my skin
My father always thought
If I was strong and fought
Not like some albatross, id begin
To fit in
Look at me powerless and holding my breath
Trying hard to repress what scared him to death
It was never easy to be his type of man
To breathe freely was not in his plan
And the best part of me
Is what he wouldn't see
I'm not my father's son
I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
Still couldn't be the one
To echo what he'd done
And mirror what was not in me
So I jumped in my dreams and found an escape
Maybe I went to extremes of leather and lace
But the world seems brighter 6 inches off the ground
And the air seemed lighter
I was profound and I felt so proud
Just to live out loud
I'm not my father's son
I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
Still couldn't be the one
To echo what he'd done
And mirror what was not
In me
The endless story of expectations wiring inside my mind
Wore me down
I came to a realization and i found a way to turn it around
To see
That I could just be me
I'm not my father's son
I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
Still couldn't be the one
To echo what he'd done
And mirror what was not in me
Such a beautiful song.
These two leads and this cast are my favorite Kinky Boots production.
One of the most beautiful songs in musical theatre.
this is my favorite song in the whole musical. it really resonates to me the most. thank you for posting this song!!!
Just saw this last month up in auckland and this song had so many people in tears including myself
Always makes me cry. I miss my dad
A masterclass in musical theatre ❤
I saw a friend perform this recently, it had me BAWLING! Very glad this song exists
I love this bit it always makes me cry during the show! So much feeling and meaning behind it. Beautiful shows how they became such friends
I'm always waiting for "Hold me in your heart" too? Please 🙏
I'm so grateful you put up this song ♥ This is so touching and so well done!
No one should be shocked that Cyndi Lauper could write this masterpiece when she's behind the classic hit Time After Time
I'm in a queer choir and for our Pride concert this year the tenors and basses are singing this (we do a tenor/bass song and a soprano/alto song as part of our set list along with other small groups just for some variety)
Everytime they sing it in rehearsal it gives me goosebumps
Such a beautiful song!
I love this Musical.See it nearly every week!!!Thank you so much!!!!!!
This song really gives me dance with my father again song vibes… gives me goosebumps listening to it ❤️
I love this song- cried all the way through
My favorite song from the recording, so nice to see it in action :,)
He is the best.
Beautiful song beautiful message 😍😍
Fantastic musical, love every song on the soundtrack 👢💄 xx
Never fails to break my heart 💖💔
Saw this show with the Australian cast back in 2017, now my second favourite show. One of the best songs, and a fantastic version of it.
i remember watching this show on broadway back in 2017. it was the second broadway show i’d ever seen, and i was sitting in the middle of the orchestra. now tony winner j harrison ghee was performing as lola, and i remember feeling their eyes, voice, and energy pierce into my soul as they performed this song. as a young non binary teenager who knew they wanted to be in the theatre when they grew up, that moment changed my life. i will never forget what this show gave me and how it helped me get to where i am now
One of the best songs, love this so much. Can’t wait for the Blu-ray release of this next month! 💙
There's a Blu-ray release?!
@@charliep123 There was a confirmed Blu-Ray release yes, not sure when tho! 👍🏻
The blue-ray is out!!!! :D
Catha Mohl Only the US right? :(
@@mcflychase No! :D I live in Germany so there is a good chance alot of countries outside of USA can buy it now
this has got to be my fav Kinky Boots number I just love it
YEEESSSSSS their performance here was so heartfelt
This is such an emotional song 😭😭😭🥺🥺
Such a beautiful song
This song made me tear up and feel every word. Bravo Matt you are awesome.
Beautiful. My dad should watch this!
Thank you very much for sharing this! Left me teary eyed just the same when I watched it live on stage in London.
This hits hard.
what an amazing, thought provoking song
Such a beautiful song x
How I miss being able to see this show live on stage.
Beautiful
My Favourite song
Cyndi Lauper wrote such a beautiful touching song
What a freaking great voice
Please can we have land of lola with the reprise as well
I'm a trans guy and this one of the First songs I go to when I need to cry
So touching.
Beautiful voice and epic acting
I love this song immensely 😢💖. Can't wait to see this in the theatre 💜💜
It's so emotional ❤
oh...my........ this video makes me cry...
It's hard becuz you have expectations. That guarantees you nothing. We refuse to accept people for who they are everyday. That's why we have wars.😊
stunning! x
Amazing
I really want to add this song to my drag king song list!
very very good !
Great play !
최재림이랑은 또 다른 감동이다..ㅠㅠ
I've been moved by a musical number plenty of times, but i'm not sure any has been so quietly devastating as this one. I watched this with a trans friend not long before I realised I was trans too. It was eye opening for both of us. I think my old man would be chill about it. At least never knowing for sure, I never have to worry about him proving me wrong.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
except for the lace and heels... this is my story too.....
My singing teacher wants me to sing this
Where do I watch this??
First !!! Love these vids !!
Great! Like 835
