The award winning stage show ‘Kinky Boots The Musical’ is making its way on to cinema screens across the UK next month.
The production is launching in nearly 700 cinemas from 4th February 2020.
Kinky Boots features songs from the pop icon Cyndi Lauper and is directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell. The show stars the original leading actors from the West End production, Matt Henry and Killian Donnelly. It has won several awards including three Oliver Awards in 2016 and the BBC Radio 2 Audience Award for Best Musical.
The musical is inspired by true events, telling the story of two people who believe they have nothing in common. Charlie (Killian Donnelly) is a factory owner struggling to save his family business, and Lola (Matt Henry) is a fabulous entertainer with a wildly exciting idea. This unexpected pair learn to embrace their differences and create a line of sturdy stilettos, which take them from a factory in Northampton all the way to Milan.
The production was filmed live for the cinema screen at the Adelphi Theatre, London back in November 2018 by BroadwayHD. This is a US-based streaming service for live theatre, and is directed by Brett Sullivan from Steam Motion and Sound.
Christine Costello, CEO and Founder of More2Screen said, “We’re delighted to bring this fabulous award-winning West End stage show to cinemas across the UK and Ireland in 2020. With its heart-warming story and stellar performances, Kinky Boots The Musical will be a hot ticket for the cinema audience.”
Kinky Boots has been called “an absolute hoot of a show” by the Times and a “dazzling, fabulously sassy and uplifting” by Time Out.
Pop icon Cyndi Lauper also said, “It has been an absolute joy and a privilege for me to play a part in creating
Kinky Boots The Musical. This show has a giant heart and I am so grateful that people in the UK have
embraced this universal story with open arms.”
