Kinky Boots (2019)

Having inherited a sinking shoe factory from his father (Graham Kent), his son (Killian Donnelly) teams up with a cabaret drag performer (Matt Henry) to produce a line of high heeled stiletto boots and save the factory. Based on the 2005 film and directed by Jerry Mitchell (who also did the choreography) and Brett Sullivan. An infectiously joyous musical that's positively irresistible. Vivid and brightly colorful, the production shows off Cyndi Lauper's Tony award winning melodic score, Mitchell's sensational choreography and a killer performance by Matt Henry as Lola. The musical highpoints are The Sex Is In The Heel, an exciting dance number that stops the show and a thrilling finale Raise You Up/Just Be that makes you want to ..... well, stand up and cheer. No, it's not Rodgers & Hammerstein and it won't be remembered as one of the landmark musicals of the Broadway theatre but it's a hell of a good time. With Natalie McQueen, Sean Needham and Cordelia Farnworth.
