With a score by Cyndi Lauper, Kinky Boots centers on Charlie Price, who has reluctantly inherited his father’s shoe factory. Charlie struggles to live up to his dad’s legacy and save the family business, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Lola, a fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos, turns out to be the one person who can help him.
