ONLY ONE MONTH TO GO BEFORE KINKY BOOTS STRUTS INTO TOWN!
Kinky
Boots
Newcastle
Theatre Royal
Monday
29th October – Saturday 10th November 2018
Everybody
say yeah! The count-down has begun as the feel-good show which took the West
End and Broadway by storm Kinky Boots
will be hot-footing it to Newcastle Theatre Royal for the first time ever in
just over one month’s time. With score
by Cyndi Lauper and an all-star cast, the multi-award winning Kinky Boots is set to be the musical
highlight of the year.
With a book
by Broadway legend and four-time Tony® Award-winner Harvey Fierstein (La Cage aux Folles), and songs by
Grammy® and Tony® winning pop icon Cyndi Lauper, Kinky Boots is a joyous
musical celebration about the friendships we discover, and the belief that you
can change the world when you change your mind.
The all-star cast includes Paula
Lane, best known for her role as Kylie Platt in long-running ITV soap Coronation Street, who will play Lauren
alongside award-winning Callum Francis who plays Lola and Joel Harper-Jackson
who takes the role of Charlie.
Inspired by true events, Kinky Boots whisks audiences 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 direction and choreography by two-time Tony®
Award-winner Jerry Mitchell (Legally
Blonde, Hairspray), Kinky Boots
is the winner of every major Best Musical award including three Olivier Awards,
three WhatsOnStage Awards as well as six Broadway Tony® Awards.
