Kinky Boots at Kennedy Center - Theater for Young Audiences

Kinky Boots isn't your typical rags-to-riches story. It's a heart-warming musical that throws a sparkly spotlight on acceptance and finding your niche. Charlie Price, facing financial ruin for his family's struggling shoe factory, encounters Lola, a fabulous drag performer in need of sturdy yet stylish stilettos. This unlikely duo forms a partnership, and Charlie starts producing "kinky boots" - high-heeled footwear specifically designed for men. The journey isn't smooth sailing. Charlie faces resistance from his factory workers and grapples with his own prejudices. However, with Lola's guidance and some catchy pop tunes, the factory is revitalized and Charlie learns valuable lessons about embracing individuality. Kinky Boots is a feel-good musical with a powerful message, celebrating the transformative power of friendship, self-acceptance, and a killer pair of boots.
