Kinky Boots

Riverside Theatres, Parramatta  ( Riverside Theatre )

9 - 24 September 2022


When you change your mind, you can change your whole world!

Following their hit productions of Les Misérables, We Will Rock You and Mamma Mia!, Packemin Productions is exploding on to the Riverside Theatres stage in September 2022 with a joyous new production of the global hit musical....Kinky Boots!

Winner of six Tony Awards (including Best Musical), Kinky Boots features a Tony-winning score by Cyndi Lauper and a hilarious, uplifting book by four-time Tony winner, Harvey Fierstein.

Charlie Price has reluctantly inherited his father's shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Trying to live up to his father's legacy and save his family business, Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola. A fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos, Lola turns out to be the one person who can help Charlie become the man that he is meant to be. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible... and discovers that, when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world.
