Kinky Boots is a favourite with UK theatregoers having won three Olivier Awards for best new musical, best costume design and best actor. Matt Henry who plays Lola got that one. Kinky Boots also won the London Evening Standard BBC Radio 2 audience award for best musical as well as three WhatsOnStage Awards for best new musical, best actor in a musical for Matt Henry, and best choreography.
Inspired by true events, Kinky Boots takes you from a gentlemen’s shoe factory in Northampton to the glamorous catwalks of Milan. Charlie Price (David Hunter) is struggling to live up to his father’s expectations and continue the family business of Price & Son. With the factory’s future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola (Matt Henry), a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos.
With direction and choreography by two-time Tony® Award-winner Jerry Mitchell (Legally Blonde, Hairspray), Kinky Boots is the winner of six Broadway Tony® Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Choreography. The production also won a Grammy® Award for best musical theatre album.I think we’ve plugged it enough. Go and see it.
