Kinky Boots making its way to Birmingham Hippodrome
Kinky Boots is heading to Birmingham next year.
Featuring songs by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, the multi-award winning musical will arrive at the Hippodrome in March.
Talking about the show, Cyndi said that it had been a 'privilege' for her to play a part in creating Kinky Boots.
"Everyone can relate to this universal story, and I am overwhelmed that people in the UK have embraced it with open arms. I am thrilled that this fabulous show will be touring the country,” she said.
The production is inspired by true events, and follows the story of Charlie Price who inherits the family business after his father dies. He is not interested in shoes or the failing business, until a transvestite cabaret singer inspires Charlie to save the factory by producing 'alternative' footwear.
Kinky Boots at the Adelphi Theatre in London has won three Olivier Awards for Best New Musical, Best Costume Design and Best Actor in a Musical among other accolades.
Director and choreographer, Jerry Mitchell, said that he is delighted that the musical is heading to the area.
"Kinky Boots is very close to my heart, and I am really looking forward to taking this British musical all over the UK," he said.
Tickets for the musical go on sale from 11am on April 30.
