The critically acclaimed Kinky Boots The Musical, the winner of a number of Best Musical awards, will be screened at Mayo Movie World on Sunday February 9.
With songs from Grammy and Tony award winning pop icon Cyndi Lauper, from the book by legendary Broadway playwright Harvey Fierstein (La Cage Aux Folles ), and direction and choreography by Jerry Mitchell (Legally Blonde, Hairspray ), Kinky Boots The Musical stars the original West End leads, Matt Henry and Killian Donnelly.
Inspired by true events, this huge-hearted hit tells the story of two people with nothing in common – or so they think. Charlie (Killian Donnelly ) is a factory owner struggling to save his family business, and Lola (Matt Henry ) is a fabulous entertainer with a wildly exciting idea. With a little compassion and a lot of understanding, this unexpected pair learn to embrace their differences and create a line of sturdy stilettos unlike any the world has ever seen! But in the end, their most sensational achievement is their friendship.
This unmissable musical theatre event celebrates a joyous story of British grit transforming into a high-heeled hit as it takes you from the factory floor of Northampton to the glamorous catwalks of Milan.
Kinky Boots The Musical is strutting onto the big screen from February 4, 2020. The stage production was filmed live for the cinema screen at the Adelphi Theatre, London in November 2018 by BroadwayHD, the US-based streaming service for live theatre, and directed by Brett Sullivan from Steam Motion and Sound.
