IT’S TIME TO BREAK OUT YOUR BEST
STILETTOS, because Kinky Boots is
returning to Florida.
The winner of six Tony Awards,
including Best Musical, Best Score and
Best Choreography, the celebrated
musical was written by pop icon Cyndi
Lauper and Broadway legend Harvey
Fierstein. It’s inspired by a true story and
based on the 2005 fi lm of the same name.
Kinky Boots follows the unlikely and
fabulous friendship of the dry but dapper
Charlie Price and the wise and witty
drag queen Lola. Both hilarious and
heartwarming, the show sees the duo
embark on a journey from Price’s failing
men’s shoe factory in North Hampton to
the catwalks of Milan.
Lola soon teaches her newfound
comrade in legs that “the sex is in the
heel,” and convinces him that the only
way to save his business is to produce
women’s shoes… for men. Through song
and stilettos, the two teach one another—
and the audience—to pursue the truth,
to learn something new, to let love shine
and that you can change the world when
you change your mind.
