Kinky Boots to open in the UK this September

Multi-award winning musical Kinky Boots will open in the West End on 15th September 2015 at the Adelphi Theatre.

The show will begin previews on 21st August 2015 and features a book by four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, music and lyrics by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, and direction and choreography by two-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell. Kinky Boots won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Musical and the 2014 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.

Inspired by a true story and based on the Miramax film written by Geoff Deane and Tim Firth, Kinky Boots tells the story of Charlie Price who has reluctantly inherited his fatherā€™s Northampton shoe factory. Trying to live up to his fatherā€™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, Lola turns out to be the one person who can help Charlie become the man heā€™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 possibleā€¦ and discovers that when you change your mind, you can change the world.

Director and Choreographer, Jerry Mitchell said, “I am delighted to see this big-spirited musical arrive in London. Kinky Boots is very close to my heart, and I am really looking forward to staging it here with a British cast.”

Tickets at the Adelphi Theatre go on sale from Monday 2 March 2015. For more information head over to www.kinkybootsthemusical.co.uk
