Overlooking the Van Wezel and Sarasota Bay is BLVD, Sarasota’s newest and most luxurious downtown condominium high-rise. Residents of BLVD are able to enjoy walkable downtown waterfront and the vibrant arts & cultural district of downtown Sarasota. With a walkability score of 96, residents are always just steps away from world-class entertainment, museums, art galleries and restaurants.

Kinky Boots

Kinky Boots is Broadway’s huge-hearted, high-heeled hit! With songs by Grammy® and Tony® winning pop icon Cyndi Lauper, this joyous musical celebration is about the friendships we discover, and the belief that you can change the world when you change your mind.

With the factory’s future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola, a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos. With direction and choreography by two-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell (Legally Blonde, Hairspray) and a book by Broadway legend and four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein (La Cage Aux Folles), Kinky Boots is the winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Choreography.
