Following its world premiere in Chicago in 2012, Kinky Boots went on to win the Tony, Grammy, and London’s Olivier Awards for Best Musical, captivating and entertaining audiences around the world with a Tony-winning score by Cyndi Lauper , book by four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein , and original direction and Tony-winning choreography by Jerry Mitchell .

Based on true events, Kinky Boots follows the journey of two people with nothing in common… or so they think. Charlie Price reluctantly inherits 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. As Charlie and Lola work together to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they realized and discover that you change the world when you change your mind.

Leading the tour will be Omari Collins “Scarlett D. Von'Du” as Lola, Noah Silverman as Charlie Price, Sophia Gunter as Lauren, Jason Daniel Chacon as Don, Emma Dean as Nicola, and John Anker Bow as George.

KINKY BOOTS brought the fun to Proctors. This touring production is filled with many high points that captivate the audience. The story follows Charlie Price, who inherits his father’s shoe factory, which is on the brink of financial ruin.

I had received an email a week ago announcing that the National Tour of Kinky Boots was performing at WVU's Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre, and that the cast would be hosting a special dance masterclass the same afternoon.
