This uplifting sensation features an award-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, a book by Tony winner Harvey Fierstein and a creative team packed with New Zealand talent.
Based on true events, this huge-hearted hit tells the story of two people with nothing in common — or so they think. Charlie is a factory owner struggling to save his family business. Lola is a fabulous entertainer with a wildly exciting idea. With a little compassion and a lot of understanding, this unexpected pair learns to embrace their differences and creates a line of sturdy stilettos unlike any the world has ever seen! But in the end, their most sensational achievement is their friendship.
Fresh from playing the role in Canada, Stewart Adam McKensy will play Lola. Playing scuffed shoe factory owner Charlie Price is Nic Kyle fresh from his role as the fabulous Lord Farquaard in the box office smash hit, Shrek the Musical and his unexpected love interest is played by star of stage and screen Nomi Cohen, most recently seen in Chess The Musical. American artist Greg Jarema who has spent the last few years leading some of Western Australia’s largest productions will be strutting his stuff as a fabulous Angel.
Kinky Boots is the winner of every major best musical award, including the Tony, the Grammy, and London’s Olivier Award and has inspired audiences across the globe, reminding everyone we can change the world when we change our minds.
Filled with glitter, glam and a whole lot of sole, Kinky Boots invites you to feel the joy all over again!
