Inspired by true events and based on the 2005 film, this sassy, heart-warming musical tells the uplifting tale of how drag queen Lola and factory owner Charlie form a partnership to produce a line of high-heeled boots to save Charlie’s business.

Both come up against a bit of resistance from some judgemental factory workers in the process however.

Not only do the characters go on a journey to save the factory but also challenge prejudices and learn that they are not so different at all and "you can change the world when you change your mind”.

Kinky Boots features a score by Cyndi Lauper and is based on a hilarious, uplifting script by four-time Tony winner Harvey Fierstein. The show is written by Geoff Deane and Tim Firth.

A group spokesperson said: “LMT would like to leave you with two important messages from Lola – ‘Accept someone for who they are’ and ‘Be yourself, everyone else is taken’.”
