EVERY VOTER SAY YEAH!

CYNDI LAUPER, HARVERY FIERSTEIN, AND THE CAST OF
THE TONY AWARD-WINNING SMASH HIT
“KINKY BOOTS”
ENCOURAGE AMERICANS TO
GET OUT THE VOTE WITH NEW VIDEO

New York, NY – Producers Daryl Roth and Hal Luftig, along with Grammy and Tony Award-winner Cyndi Lauper and Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, are encouraging people to get out the vote on November 8th. Fierstein and Lauper surprised a recent audience at the Tony Award-winning musical, and joined the cast on stage for a reworked version of the show’s Act 1 finale “Everybody Say Yeah,” and then helped patrons register to vote. Anyone can register online to vote instantly at http://kinky.vote/.

“Because of its subject and its message, Kinky Boots has the rare opportunity to be part of the political conversation,” Fierstein said. “Hopefully, this fun little rewrite of “Everybody Say Yeah” will remind some people to register before it’s too late, and make sure their voices are heard on November 8th.”

It’s time to get out the vote and express your views
It’s your responsibility
Impact the future with who you choose
Talk about liberty

‘Cause on November 8th it’s going down
So do it for your nation
Get up, get online, and get in step
With our Kinky registration

Every voter say yeah (yeah)
Say yeah (yeah)
Say yeah (yeah)
Say yeah (yeah)
Yeah

(spoken)
Democrats, Republicans, and those who have yet to make up their minds
We want each and every one of you to get out there and vote on Election Day
Remember, your vote is your voice, and not everybody’s going to like it
But you gotta let it be heard
