‘Kinky Boots’ comes to Wharton Center May 26-31

The award winning Broadway musical “Kinky Boots” will be performed May 26-31 at MSU’s Wharton Center.

"Kinky Boots" is Broadway’s huge-hearted, high-heeled hit. With songs by Grammy and Tony winning pop icon Cyndi Lauper, this musical is about the friendships we discover, and the belief that you can change the world when you change your mind. Inspired by true events, “Kinky Boots” takes you from a gentlemen¹s shoe factory in North Hampton 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.

With direction and choreography by two-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell (“Hairspray”) and a book by Broadway legend and four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein (“La Cage Aux Folles”); “Kinky Boots” is the winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Choreography.
