Don’t miss Kinky Boots, a lively and heartwarming musical that celebrates acceptance, friendship, and the power of self-expression, at Riverside Theatre, February 20 - March 17.
This uplifting musical tells the story of Charlie Price, a young man struggling to save his family's failing shoe factory in Northampton, England. When Charlie's father passes away, he inherits the struggling business, which is on the brink of bankruptcy. When faced with the impending closure of the factory, Charlie embarks on a journey of self-discovery and entrepreneurial spirit that leads him to an unlikely partnership with a fabulous drag queen named Lola.
The musical explores themes of acceptance, resilience, and the transformative power of embracing one's true self. As Charlie and Lola join forces to create high-heeled boots for drag queens, they encounter skepticism and resistance from the factory workers and the community. However, through perseverance and ingenuity, they overcome obstacles and forge a path toward success.
Central to Kinky Boots is the dynamic relationship between Charlie and Lola, whose differences initially seem insurmountable but ultimately become the foundation for their friendship and business partnership. Through their collaboration, they challenge stereotypes, break down barriers, and celebrate the beauty of individuality.
The heart and soul of Kinky Boots lie in its catchy musical numbers, by Grammy and Tony Award-winning songwriter Cyndi Lauper that capture the joy, pain, and triumph of the characters' journey.
In the end, Kinky Boots is more than just a story about shoes; it's a celebration of diversity, love, and the courage to be unapologetically yourself and walk proudly in your own unique shoes.
