With music by the legendary Cyndi Lauper, Kinky Boots tells the story of Charlie, a young man trying to save his family’s shoe business. Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola, a fabulous drag entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair find 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
