Based on the 2005 British film Kinky Boots written by Geoff Deane and Tim Firth and mostly inspired by true events, this musical tells the story of Charlie Price. Having reluctantly inherited his father's shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy and trying to live up to his father's legacy and save his family business, Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola, a fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair find that they have more in common than they realized... and discover that when you change your mind, you can change your whole world.
Kinky Boots is the big-hearted musical extravaganza that won six Tonys including Best Musical, the Grammy for Best Musical Theatre album and London’s Olivier Award for Best Musical.
