Kinky Boots Salt Lake City Tickets

Kinky Boots

Kinky Boots is a heartwarming and humorous musical that tells the story of Charlie Price, who inherits a shoe factory from his father. When the shoe business is failing, Charlie forms an unlikely partnership with Lola, a cabaret performer and drag queen, to make a line of fabulous high-heeled boots. Along the way, these two learn some life lessons and realize they have more in common than they thought.

This uplifting musical is by Broadway legend and Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (La Cage Aux Folles). Music and lyrics are by Tony-, Emmy- and Grammy Award winner Cyndi Lauper, with direction and choreography by Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell (Legally Blonde, Hairspray). Based on the 2005 film Kinky Boots, by Geoff Deane and Tim Firth, true events inspired the story.

The stage version of Kinky Boots debuted in 2012 in Chicago and moved to Broadway the following year. It won six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Choreography and Best Score for Cyndi Lauper.

Kinky Boots Trivia

While actual events inspired Kinky Boots, there was never anyone resembling Lola. While the screen and stage versions have a happy ending, in real life the shoe factory eventually to closed in 2000, even after having some success with the high-heeled boots venture.

Even though the factory no longer exists, boots made by Steve Pateman (the real-life shoe factory owner) are on exhibit at the Northampton Museum and Art Gallery in the United Kingdom.

Steve Pateman had a role in the making of the film, but not the stage versions of Kinky Boots.
