⭐ KINKY BOOTS – BRAND NEW PRODUCTION ANNOUNCED ⭐
A brand new production of the smash-hit musical Kinky Boots, has been announced.
The New Wolsey Theatre Ipswich and Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch have today announced that they will be co-producing the first UK revival and regional premiere of the Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical Kinky Boots.
The production will also mark 10 years since the musical’s debut at Chicago’s Bank of America Theatre in 2012.
Charlie Price has reluctantly inherited a struggling shoe business from his dad, which he’s desperate to save. He unexpectedly bumps into a larger than life drag queen Lola, who’s looking for some sturdy stilettos. They think they’ve nothing in common, but as the unlikely pair ruffle a few feathers, designing some fabulous footwear for the factory floor, perhaps they do…
Based on the joyously gritty British film inspired by true events, and featuring original songs from pop icon Cyndi Lauper, this hilariously high-heeled winner of every Best Musical award is the ultimate feel-good experience.
The new production sees Tim Jackson reunite with the two theatres, having previously choregraphed their celebrated revival of Made in Dagenham. Tim Jackson has also previously worked with the New Wolsey Theatre as director and dramaturg of The Stage Debut Award-winning co-production of The Season (Royal and Derngate, New Wolsey).
Tim Jackson is also staging the upcoming 2022 Olivier Awards Ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall and will choreograph Merrily We Roll Along, directed by Maria Friedman and starring Daniel Radcliffe, at New York Theater Workshop later this year.
Cast and full creative team will be announced at a later date.
Kinky Boots has a book by Harvey Fierstein with music & lyrics by Cyndi Lauper. Directed by Tim Jackson. Based on the Miramax motion picture Kinky Boots, written by Geoff Deane and Tim Firth.
Kinky Boots will open at the New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich, running from 1st – 24th September and Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, running from 28th September – 22nd October 2022.
Fabulous! ! !
