Directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell, KINKY BOOTS opened on Broadway on April 4, 2013 and continues to play to standing-room-only crowds nightly. The show, which has broken all box office records at the Hirschfeld Theatre, recouped its costs in October 2013, after just 30 weeks on Broadway.
KINKY BOOTS took home six 2013 Tony Awards, the most of any show in the season, including Best Musical, Best Score (Cyndi Lauper), Best Choreography (Jerry Mitchell), Best Orchestrations (Stephen Oremus) and Best Sound Design (John Shivers). The show also received the Drama League, Outer Critics Circle and Broadway.com awards for Best Musical and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Album, along with many other accolades.
In KINKY BOOTS, Charlie Price has reluctantly inherited his father's shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Trying to live up to his father's legacy and save his family business, Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola. A fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos, Lola turns out to be the one person who can help Charlie become the man he's meant to be. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible - and discover that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world.
The design team for KINKY BOOTS includes Tony Award nominee David Rockwell (scenic design), Tony Award-winner Gregg Barnes (costume design), Tony Award-winner Kenneth Posner (lighting design), Tony Award-winner John Shivers (sound design), Josh Marquette (hair design), Randy Houston Mercer (make-up design), Telsey + Company, Justin Huff, CSA (casting), Adam Souza (music direction), with musical supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by Tony and Grammy Award-winner Stephen Oremus.
