A sensational cast of Australian and international performers will star in the premiere season of multi award-winning musical Kinky Boots at Her Majesty's Theatre, Melbourne from 12 October 2016. BroadwayWorld brings you a sneak peek below!
Callum Francis and Toby Francis will portray principal characters Lola and Charlie - the fabulous drag performer and the young man he inspires to revamp the family shoe business.
Joining them are a mix of accomplished musical theatre performers and exciting fresh faces, including Sophie Wright (Lauren), Damien Bermingham (Don), Teagan Wouters(Nicola) and Nathan Carter (George), along with Blake Appelqvist, comedy veteran Glenn Butcher, Hilary Cole, Jessica Condon, Denise Devlin, Euan Doidge, Daniel Downing, Bronte Florian, Linden Furnell, Ryan Gonzalez, Samm Hagen, Anthony Harkin, Joe Kosky, Jenni Little, Liam Peel, Emma Powell, Matthew Predny, Eric Rasmussen, Mark Stefanoffand Mitchell Woodcock.
Winner of every major international award for Best Musical, Kinky Boots features music and lyrics by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, a book by four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, and direction and choreography by two-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell.
Of the Australian cast, Jerry Mitchell said: "Since Kinky Boots began on Broadway we've opened productions in London, Toronto, Seoul and on tour across the US and this is without doubt one of the strongest casts we've ever put together. Aussie audiences will be blown away - as we were in the audition room!"
Kinky Boots centres on a down-at-heel English shoe factory run by Charlie Price that is given fabulous new life after a chance encounter with Lola, an entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos. Sydney-based singer, writer and musical theatre performer Toby Francis will play Charlie. A member of the internationally renowned Australian music ensemble The Ten Tenors, Toby was recently seen in Dogfight at Sydney's Hayes Theatre Co.
