Why see Kinky Boots?

The Well-heeled tony winning hit!

Get ready to tap your toes to the biggest feel-good musical of the last decade as Kinky Boots strides onto the Cerritos Center stage in 2020, courtest of 3D Theatricals. Starring RuPaul's Drag Race and Broadway icon Todrick Hall, reprising the role of Lola, expect a mighty evening of positivity, kindness, and compassion wrapped up in a catchy score from none other than '80s legend Cyndi Lauper!

Telling the story of Charlie Price and his quest to change the fortunes of his family's failing shoe factory - and the unlikely business partner he finds in Drag entertainer Lola - Kinky Boots burst onto Broadway in 2013 where it ran for six awesome years (and picked up six Tony Awards along the way). Based on the cult indie film of the same name, it's since become a musical theatre favorite known for its boundless energy and message of tolerance and inclusivity and bringing all the glitz and glamor you'll need for an unforgettable night out at the theatre!

What is the story?

Price and Sons spent the last century making a range of shoes for men, and now they're spending this century making shoes for a range of men! Based on a true story, Kinky Boots is the uplifting story of an unlikely friendship, finding your passion, overcoming prejudice and recognizing that underneath it all, we're not so different.

Set in Northampton, UK, London-bound Charlie is surprised to suddenly inherit his beloved father's shoe factory and even more surprised to find that handmade men's dress shoes are no longer quite as in vogue as they used to be. Facing closure, a dejected Charlie chances upon Lola, the charismatic, brassy and fabulous drag queen and finds himself forming an unlikely business partnership - creating custom shoes for drag queens, which will change their lives forever...

An enjoyable experience

Here goes - a very honest opinion from someone who loves the spectacular of musicals. The first quarter of the show sent me to sleep. Why? Because, being British, I was appalled at the terrible attempts to speak with English accents. No-one got it right and I was straining to understand what was being said. The sets were too dark and what with not hearing the words, it was enough to send me to snoozeville. HOWEVER... it all picked up during the scene when Simon enters wearing men's clothing and sings a duet with Charlie. From then on, my attention was caught and I enjoyed the rest of the show. Charlie's mike went out at one point and his singing sounded almost canned (his voice sounded hollow). Apart from this, the cast did an excellent job, especially the dancers and we all had a rip roaring time. Producers please take note from one who is British. It is NOT necessary to have actors speak in an accent they are not familiar with. It does not add to the production. If they had all spoken with their true voices, no-one would have cared and we would have all understood the words. Our seats upstairs were amazing. I think everyone had a great view. I would not take children to see this as I do not believe they would understand anything in it. ... Read more
