KINKY BOOTS
Eric Abraham and the Fugard Theatre present their original, Tony award-winning production of the popular, smash-hit musical Kinky Boots.
Charlie Price has reluctantly inherited his father’s shoe factory, Price & Son, 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.
