'Kinky Boots' is heading to Blu-ray and might be a stay-in gem

As I prepare for an onslaught of fresh Date Night or Nahhh…. bae’downs in the coming days, buzz about Kinky Boots heading to Blu-ray on May 31st might be one you can save some popcorn money on and have a true stay-in date night experience.

The official details are below but rest assured, if given the opportunity to review - you can prepare to find out if this is worth getting your hands on for the traditional wine and dine indoors at home or if it’s worth gifting for a family member or friend.

 The KINKY BOOTS Blu-ray features access to a digital copy of the film and legacy bonus content, including audio commentary with the director and members of the cast, deleted scenes, and behind-the-scenes featurettes.  Bonus material is detailed below:
