Kinky Boots

This Tony Award-winning musical, with a catchy score by Cyndi Lauper, simultaneously celebrates individuality and the power of community. The cast includes many local favorites, some artists appearing on the NorShor stage for the first time, and a few performers from the Twin Cities and beyond.

Based on a true story, Kinky Boots is an uplifting musical of friendship, passion and recognition that underneath it all. Set in provincial Northampton, England, Charlie Price (played by newcomer Nathan Meyer) reluctantly inherits the family’s struggling shoe factory, while Lola (Minneapolis favorite Mitchell Douglas) is a charismatic drag queen superstar with a wildly exciting idea on how to help the shoe factory recover. This unexpected duo learns they make quite the pair, embracing their differences to create a line together of fabulously unique stilettos that take the world by storm. Book by Harvey Fierstein.

Performances run July 14-30. Sign-language interpreted performance on June 28 at 7:30 p.m. Interpreters: Rebecca Rick and Emily Engel.
