Kinky Boots

Kinky Boots is a heartwarming, high-energy musical that follows Charlie Price, a young man struggling to save his family’s failing shoe factory. Just when it seems the business is destined to close, Charlie forms an unexpected partnership with Lola—a bold, brilliant and unapologetically fabulous drag queen with a flair for design.

Together, they set out to create a line of sturdy, glamorous, high-heeled boots unlike anything the factory has ever produced. As the two worlds collide, Charlie and Lola discover that they have more in common than they ever imagined, inspiring their team to embrace authenticity, acceptance and a bit of sparkle along the way.

Packed with uplifting songs by Cyndi Lauper, vibrant characters and a powerful message about courage and being true to yourself, Kinky Boots is a joyous celebration of friendship, individuality and the belief that you can change the world when you change your mind.

SOS performed Kinky Boots at The Core Theatre in 2023.
