Kinky Boots comes to town
- Written by Victorian Government
Kinki Boots - original Broadway cast
The feel-good, multi award-winning musical Kinky Boots will make its Australian debut at Her Majesty’s Theatre, Melbourne in October 2016.
Featuring music and lyrics by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, and directed and choreographed by two-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell, Kinky Boots is renowned for having audiences dancing in their seats by the end of the show.
The production has been embraced worldwide since its official launch on Broadway in April 2013, winning six Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
Inspired by a true story and based on the Miramax film, Kinky Boots tells the story of Charlie Price who has reluctantly inherited his father’s Northampton shoe factory. Trying to live up to his father’s legacy and save the family business from bankruptcy, Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola, a fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos. This unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible – and that when you change your mind, you can change the world.
The search for the Australian cast will begin later this year, and visitors keen to purchase tickets can register on the wait list.
