CHILDREN’S CASTING – Adelphi Theatre
KINKY BOOTS is the unforgettable Broadway sensation with music by Tony® and
Grammy®-winning pop icon Cyndi Lauper. Inspired by true events, KINKY BOOTS
features a book by Tony®-winning theatre legend Harvey Fierstein and
direction and choreography by Tony® winner Jerry Mitchell. It tells the
story of Charlie Price, who inherits his father’s shoe factory in
Northampton. Looking to save the family business, Charlie turns to a
fabulously fashionable new friend — cabaret star Lola — who gives him an
outrageous idea that could change both of their destinies. Soon, this
unlikely duo creates the most sensational footwear that’s ever rocked the
runways of Milan… giving the factory and its hardworking family a
sparkling new future.
An exuberant story about finding friendship, inspiration and passion where
you least expect, KINKY BOOTS proves that you change the world when you
change your mind.
