Kinky Boots
Synopsis
Book by Harvey Fierstein
Music & Lyrics by Cyndi Lauper
Inspired by true events, and based on the film of the same name, Kinky Boots is a huge-hearted hit musical telling the story of two people with nothing in common – or so they think! The story is about Charlie, who on the death of his father, inherits his family’s failing shoe factory. While contemplating whether to close the factory and sell the premises, Charlie goes to the defence of what he believes to be a woman being attacked by muggers, and so he meets drag queen Lola, who subsequently convinces him of an unmet market for exclusive glamour footwear in larger sizes. Through trials and clever innovation from the initially resistant factory workers, Charlie and Lola save the business and discover a surprising friendship. This joyous musical “struts its stuff with sparkle, stilettos and heart!”
