Having opened in October at Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne, the Australian production of Kinky Boots is marching up to Sydney's Capitol Theatre in April 2017, with exact dates TBC and tickets on sale from December 5.
Based on the 2005 British film, and with songs by Cyndi Lauper, Kinky Boots transports audiences from a gentlemen's shoe factory in Northampton to the catwalks of Milan. It won six Tony Awards including Best Musical (trumping Matilda, no less).
The Melbourne production stars Toby Francis as Charlie, who is struggling to make his family's shoe factory financially viable; and Callum Francis as Lola, the drag queen who inspires Charlie to refocus his business on making women’s boots for men.
