Worst audio if any production I have ever heard. You couldn't hear any of the dialogue in the whole movie. Was it this theatre only? Totally disappointing.

NYC live production was better. Why all the close ups? That is not what broadway is about? The cheesy audience shots clapping were unnecessary and removed story focus. I feel those that didn’t see it live were not given a true shot at loving it, and it should be loved!

Good show filmed well but sound in theatre was way too low. Should have raised house lights at interval. But still very enjoyable.

I love this show. Heartwarming. Uplifting. I've seen it live and love that more, but this was still smile-inducing. Sound was soft in the theatre though :(

Disappointing start as Livonia AMC 20 in Michigan didn’t start projecting it until 20 minutes into simulcast. Audience members had to tell management it had not been started. Once started, the audio was minimal and could not be heard in theater. We had to yell to turn it up the volume. Great show but very disappointing execution at this theater!

FANTASTIC filming of this amazing musical! Red Rock Regal Cinemas in Las Vegas did a wonderful job bringing it to us! I WANT MORE SHOWINGS so I can see it again!!!

Loved the piece but cut the audience shots. I want to see the performers, not the audience. The volume in the theatre was too low. The lights should have come up during intermission. The theatre should clean the floors - shoes stick to them.

Only sad about the sound. It was muffled and that was disappointing, otherwise it was great to see since it had closed just a week before I was in NYC this spring.

Sound was so faint that you could not hear the actors speaking. Musical numbers were louder.

I thought the American Broadway version was better. English accents hard to understand.

Great show, but it’s a shame that the sound was so flat and muddy. It made some of the dialog hard to understand.

Saw the musical on Broadway. Enjoyed having a chance to see such an uplifting, feel good musical again as a movie. Also delighted in the opportunity seeing a London version too.

Loved this performance. Had always wanted to see it on Broadway, but it never happened...this is the next best thing. Loved the character Lola.

These 'filmed live onstage' shows are a wonderful way to see Broadway musicals in their original form. Kinky Boots is a great show, and this production is worth a look. I loved it,but either the film or the theater missed the boat on sound. The volume is too low and nearly any stereo sound is missing. A shame, because everything else was spot on.

allows the audience to be as close as possible to the actors. I have seen the live show twice and this film allowed me to see some of the suttle bits that are missed from the house. Most importantly Shoes!

Saw it on Broadway and it was fun to see how it was fine in this production. The actor playing Lola was as enjoyable as boy Porter. Fathom provides a wonderful vehicle for those who don't have access to Broadway musicals to enjoy!

I liked the stage-show feel. Some closeups but not constantly so you saw the staging. Love the music!

The show was excellent. The actual theatre was another issue entirely. It was hot in the theatre, the sounds was awful until about 25 minutes in and the whole show was 20 minutes late getting started.

Clever and fun but very repititious. Simple plot that dragged in 2nd act. Lola was great and saved an otherwise ordinary cast Great to see live theater on movie screens. Kudos to Fathom for doing these

London cast was great. Audio and videography were balanced and produced well. Great opportunity for my family to see shows they wouldn’t be able to travel to NYC or London to enjoy.

As everyone else has mentioned, sound was terrible. I wasn’t a fan of some of the singers, but the message was the best part. The movie was slow when I saw it, so tamping that up took some guts. I recommend it even with the flaws.

It was a fabulous show despite the sound issues at the theatre we saw it at. First 5 minutes had no sound and the house lights were still on, but after they fixed that it was so good. My daughter loved it.

It was good especially the ending but I felt more connected to the play. The performance from Lola was very moving. A bunch of kids interfered with the movie at times so many in the audience were miffed.

Play/Movie was great, theater sucked. No sound when the film started, volume was low thought and even got worse halfway through. Multiple complaints but no action or response from staff.
