If you climb in the saddle, be ready for the ride. Boots, the summer sensation schemed up by the Renaissance Theatre Co. quickly became Orlando's best hoedown. Ren director Donald Rupe and his compatriots dreamed up something spectacular: a 360-degree country show in an authentic saloon built from the ground up, featuring a live band and singers, drag queens and kings, and country hits from Reba to Dolly to Beyoncé. On weekend nights from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., the line was out the door, with cowboy hats, spurs and (assless) chaps as far as the eye could see. Giddy up, Orlando.
