The Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical Kinky Boots opened off-Broadway at Stage 42 and the stars filled the red carpet including Cyndi Lauper, Robin de Jesús, Conrad Ricamora, Lena Hall, Andy Karl & Orfeh, Stark Sands, and the cast of Kinky Boots!
Kinky Boots features 16 original songs by Cyndi Lauper, a book by Harvey Fierstein, and direction and choreography by Jerry Mitchell. The hit show originally opened on April 4, 2013, enjoyed a successful six-year Broadway run and continues to be presented all over the world.
Based on true events, this huge-hearted hit tells the story of two people with nothing in common — or so they think. Charlie is a factory owner struggling to save his family business. Lola is a fabulous entertainer with a wildly exciting idea. With a little compassion and a lot of understanding, this unexpected pair learns to embrace their differences and creates a line of sturdy stilettos unlike any the world has ever seen! But in the end, their most sensational achievement is their friendship.
Kinky Boots stars Callum Francis reprising the role of “Lola,” Christian Douglas as “Charlie Price,” Danielle Hope as “Lauren,” Brianna Stoute as “Nicola,” Sean Steele as “Don,” and Marcus Neville, reprising his role of “George” from the Broadway production.
The ensemble includes Devin Bowles, Bella Coppola, Nick Drake, Ian Gallagher Fitzgerald, Ryan Halsaver, Matthew Michael Janisse, Lindsay Joan, Kevin Smith Kirkwood, Marty Lauter, Tommy Martinez, Ryah Nixon, Lucas Pastrana, Liz Pearce, Ricky Schroeder, David J.
