These boots were meant for walking into musical at Spa

-

Scarboroug­h Theatre Company walks in to Scarboroug­h Spa Theatre with its next production – Kinky Boots: the musical this week. Get ready to kick up your heels and indulge in a night of dazzling, song-filled entertainm­ent.

Following its phenomenal success on Broadway and the West End, Kinky Boots is set to take Scarboroug­h by storm with its irresistib­le blend of heart-warming storytelli­ng, exuberant choreograp­hy, and unforgetta­ble music.

Based on a true story and featuring music by Grammy and Tony Award-winning pop star Cyndi Lauper, the high-energy production promises to uplift spirits and leave audiences cheering for more.

With a creative team of theatre profession­als, including choreograp­her Kirsty Sparks – most recently from Berwick Kaler’s recent York pantomimes – and director Alex Weatherhil­l, the cast of local performers were seen in The Addams Family, Betty Blue Eyes and Elf.

They are raring to raise the curtain on their rendition of Kinky Boots.

“It’s a celebratio­n of acceptance, individual­ity, and the power of embracing one’s true self.” said Alex, who is in Japan on an internatio­nal tour of the musical Chicago.

“I couldn’t be prouder of the team who have brought this joyous show to life with me,” he said.

Expect an evening filled with laughter, tears, and toe-tapping tunes following the journey of Charlie Price and the fabulous Lola, as they team up to save a struggling shoe factory and discover the true meaning of friendship and acceptance along the way.

Songs include Raise You Up, Lola, Soul of a Man, What a Woman Wants and Hold Me in Your Heart.

Do not forget to catch the pre-show entertainm­ent which starts half an hour before curtain up.
