Packed with toe-tapping music by Grammy and Tony Award-winning artist Cyndi Lauper, Kinky Boots is a celebration of individuality, acceptance, and the power of embracing who you truly are.

Director Larry Pelham explains, “This is an amazing show to kick off our 91st Season here at DLT. We are so proud of the actors who truly make this show come alive. It has been such a fun process from beginning to end. I never thought I’d see so many fabulous boots on our stage!”

Kinky Boots Is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.

Dover Little Theatre is an intimate 100 seat theatre located just off Blackwell Street in Historic Dover, New Jersey.  This hidden gem was established in 1933 through the efforts of a dedicated group of theatre enthusiasts in the Dover Women’s Club who sought to establish a “home” for theatrical arts and artists of all kinds.

Succeeding with their vision, DLT has become a home for all interested in theatre- whether it is on stage, behind the scenes, or as an audience member.

DLT brings the community into community theatre by producing mainstage productions and children’s theatre, hosting comedy troupes, concerts, and all sorts of other special events produced and run only by volunteers.
