The show also received the Drama League, Outer Critics Circle and Broadway.com Awards for Best Musical and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Album, along with many other accolades.

Inspired by true events, Kinky Boots takes you from a gentlemen's shoe factory in Northampton to the glamorous catwalks of Milan. Charlie Price is struggling to live up to his father's expectations and continue the family business of Price & Son. With the factory's future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola, a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos.

J. Harrison Ghee is kicking up his heels as Lola. Ghee understudied the role of Lola during the first year of the tour and was the Assistant Dance Captain. Curt Hansen (Wicked, Next to Normal) stars as shoe factory owner Charlie Price. Ghee and Hansen are joined by Rose Hemingway (How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) as Lauren, Aaron Walpole (Les Miserables, Jesus Christ Superstar) as Don, Katerina Papacostas (First Date) as Nicola and Jim J. Bullock (Hairspray, "Too Close for Comfort") as George.

Rounding out the ensemble are Meryn Beckett, Joseph Anthony Byrd, Tami Dahbura, Alfred Dalpino, Madge Dietrich, Sam Dowling, Alex Dreschke, Gavin Gregory, Ian Gallagher Fitzgerald, Collin Jeffrey, Ellen Marlow, Sebastian Maynard-Palmer, Ciarán McCarthy, Julia McLellan, Jacob Morrell, Mary Mossberg, Christian Mullins, JP Qualters, Xavier Reyes, Casi Riegle, Sam Rohloff, Andrew Scanlon, Tom Souhrada, Dan Tracy, Robert Zelaya and Sam Zeller.
