—Show Introduction—
Adapted from a true story, a costume show featuring "the man in boots" sparked heated discussion.
"Kinky Boots" is based on a true story. The protagonist, Charlie Price, is the fourth-generation heir to the long-established British shoe store, Price & Sons. After taking over the business from his father, he struggles to keep it afloat. Just when Charlie is at his wit's end, he meets Lola, a talented bar singer and drag queen. These two seemingly unrelated young people come together, not only saving the shoe factory but also forging a deep friendship. The film's stunning costumes transport the audience from a small shoe workshop in Northampton to the glittering runways of Milan.
The globally acclaimed Broadway musical "Kinky Boots" premiered in Chicago in 2012 and was warmly received by audiences after its Broadway debut on April 4, 2013. It garnered 13 Tony Award nominations that year and ultimately won 6 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Song, and Best Choreography.
The creative team behind the show is truly impressive, with music composed by pop music icon Cyndi Lauper, directed and choreographed by two-time Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell, and written by Broadway legend and four-time Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein.
The show won the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album in 2014 and three Olivier Awards in 2016, becoming one of the few shows to achieve a grand slam by winning the Tony Award, Grammy Award, and Olivier Award consecutively.
