KINKY BOOTS

synopsis

SW6 1RX

Based on the 2005 British film Kinky Boots and mostly inspired by true events, the musical tells the story of Charlie Price. Having inherited a shoe factory from his father, Charlie forms an unlikely partnership with cabaret performer and drag queen Lola to produce a line of high-heeled boots and save the business. In the process, Charlie and Lola discover that they are not so different after all. The excellent writing of Harvey Fierstein combined with an infectiously upbeat score by Cyndi Lauper made this a show that had the audience on their feet!
