The musical “Kinky Boots” featuring a score by pop star Cyndi Lauper has earned 13 Tony nominations for the Tony Awards — the most of any show currently on Broadway.

“Kinky Boots,” an adaptation of a British flick about a struggling shoe factory that reinvents itself by making boots for drag queens, was also nominated for best musical, along with “Bring It On: The Musical” and “A Christmas Story: The Musical.” Lauper was nominated for best score along with book writer Harvey Fierstein and three members of the show’s cast.

The Tony awards will be presented at Radio City Music Hall on June 9.
