The Daily Mail confirmed today that the multi-award winning Broadway musical Kinky Boots is headed to London's Adelphi Theatre this summer.
Casting for the show is already underway with rehearsals due to begin in July, with a first preview scheduled for 21 August 2015.
The search is now on for an entirely British cast. Director Jerry Mitchell told the mail "It's got to be British actors, because one of the things we always took a beating on in New York was the accents."
Kinky Boots is based on the British film of the same name which starred Chiwetel Ejiofor. It tells the story of Charlie Price, who inherits his father's shoe factory. Looking to save the family business, Charlie turns to a fabulously fashionable new friend — cabaret star Lola — who gives him an outrageous idea that could change both of their destinies. Soon, this unlikely duo creates the most sensational footwear that’s ever rocked the runways of Milan… giving the factory and its hardworking family a sparkling new future.
An exuberant story about finding friendship, inspiration and passion where you least expect, Kinky Boots proves that you change the world when you change your mind.
