KINKY BOOTS
A HAOS Productions Musical
The exhilarating true story that will lift your spirits to high-heeled heights!
Winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, Kinky Boots features a joyous, Tony-winning score by Cyndi Lauper and a hilarious, uplifting book by four-time Tony winner Harvey Fierstein.
Charlie Price has reluctantly inherited his father's shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. 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, Lola turns out to be the one person who can help Charlie become the man he's meant to be. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible... and discovers that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world.
Kinky Boots is full of opportunities for elaborate costumes, exhilarating choreography and a truly moving and powerful story. A sure-fire crowd pleaser, we will get you dancing in the aisle and discovering why sometimes, the best way to fit in is to stand out!
