Kinky Boots

A struggling British shoemaker turns to an unexpected collaborator to save his family’s factory in Kinky Boots at the Venice Theatre. When Charlie Price inherits a failing business, a chance meeting with Lola, a drag performer, leads to a new manufacturing niche: sturdy, steel-reinforced stiletto boots for drag queens. The musical, playing on the Jervey MainStage, features a score by Cyndi Lauper and explores the friction between rural factory workers and the flamboyant club scene. The production highlights the mechanics of shoe manufacturing alongside the emotional architecture of finding common ground.
