To save the factory and the jobs of his friends and colleagues, Charlie finds a new niche marked in the form of Lola, a drag queen in need of some super strong stilettos. The pair form a unique bond as they work towards showcasing their kinky boots in Milan. Marking her first musical, legendary singer and songwriter **Cyndi Lauper** has written a score which features killer number after killer number. The up-tempo melodies will be stuck in your head forever more whilst the ballads are absolutely stunning. **Harvey Fierstein’s** script is fast paced; a hilarious one-liner is never too far away and the more moving scenes are written with such heart. **Jerry Mitchell’s** production is big, bold and bursting with energy.
