The popular West End musical, Kinky Boots, has revealed that it will be embarking on its first ever UK tour from next September.
The show will start its tour at Northampton’s Royal & Derngate on 19th September 2018, returning to the home of the British story.
The West End production will continue at the Adelphi Theatre whilst the tour takes place.
Synopsis: Kinky Boots
Inspired by true events, Kinky Boots takes you from a gentlemen’s shoe factory in Northampton to the glamorous catwalks of Milan. Charlie Price 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, a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos.
With a book by Broadway legend Harvey Fierstein (La Cage aux Folles), and songs by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, this musical is about the friendships we discover, and the belief that you can change the world when you change your mind.
Composer and lyricist, Cyndi Lauper said: “It has been a wonderful adventure and a privilege for me, to play a part in creating Kinky Boots. Everyone can relate to this universal story, and I am overwhelmed that people in the UK have embraced it with open arms. I am thrilled that this fabulous show will be touring the country!”
