originally published: 09/27/2024

(PITMAN, NJ) -- The Broadway Theatre of Pitman presents Tony Award-winning hit Kinky Boots weekends from October 25 to November 17, 2024. Based on the 2005 film and inspired by a true story, Kinky Boots follows Charlie Price, an aspiring young businessman who is forced to give up his dreams of living the London city life in order to save his late father's family business in Northern England.

When Charlie suddenly inherits his father’s bankrupt shoe factory, he finds unexpected inspiration in the form of Lola a fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos. As Charlie and Lola work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible, and discovers that when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world.

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