Fulton Theatre Presents KINKY BOOTS and SNOW WHITE

Fulton Theatre presents the regional premiere of the Tony Award-winning Kinky Boots! This dazzling musical will lift audiences' spirits when it opens on Thursday, March 5, 2020, with preview performances on March 3rd and 4th. The Broadway smash hit has a book by Harvey Fierstein and a Grammy Award-winning score by pop sensation Cyndi Lauper has been HELD OVER for an additional week, now set to close on Saturday, April 4th.

Kinky Boots tells the story of Charlie Price as he reluctantly inherits his father's shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Trying to live up to his father's legacy and save his family business, Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola. A fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos, Lola turns out to be the one person who can help Charlie become the man that he is meant to be. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible... and discover that, when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world.

Kinky Boots is based on the 2005 British film of the same name. Kinky Boots ran for six years on Broadway, just closing last season, after playing 2,505 performances and 34 previews. It garnered the Tony Award for "Best Musical" and "Best Score" in 2013, and went on to win the Grammy Award for "Best Musical Theater Album." The album debuted number one on the Billboard Cast Albums and number fifty-one on the Billboard 200 chart.
