Kinky Boots The Musical is coming to Auckland and Wellington this May. The powerhouse musical is produced by G&T Productions in partnership with The Amici Trust. It is set to be one of the biggest musicals to hit New Zealand.
The sensational showcase will take place over May, June and July 2023. Kinky Boots won the Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album, alongside six Tonys, including Best Musical and London’s Oliver Award for Best Musical.
Featuring iconic music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper and based on the book by Harvey Fierstein…you won’t want to miss this uplifting and hilarious hit show, based on a true story, adapted to the stage.
The story follows Charlie, forced to give up his dreams in London to return home to save his late father’s business in a rural part of England. When he meets Lola, a soulful glamorous entertainer, the pair put aside their differences to create a line of fabulous sturdy stilettos – unlike anything seen before. Particularly, this show is a phenomenon in New York and London. So, Auckland and Wellington audiences should consider themselves lucky!
