Now celebrating three fabulous years in the West End, "Kinky Boots" is THE feel-good musical that is guaranteed to lift your spirits. Full of uplifting songs and powerful messages of acceptance, we’ve chosen our top ten moments from the show that give us all the feels.
1. Follow your heart, but never forget your roots.
While Charlie chooses not to follow the same career as his father, his dad eventually toasts his journey and accepts that he should let him discover his own path.
“Shoes can protect a man’s journey, but only his heart can choose the path.
And so a toast to our own Charlie. May you never fail to point your shoes back home.”
2. We all wish we had our own personal wind machine.
Do you ever wish you could turn on your own personal wind machine to give your Instagram stories some more flare?
Lauren improvises with some apparatus on the production line — and we’re here for it.
3. One moment can change your life.
After Charlie’s first encounter with the spectacular drag queen, Lola, he realises that there may be a gap in the market. Filling that gap could help him save the factory!
“We may be facing the impossible.
We may be chasing after miracles.
And there may be the steepest mountain to overcome.
But this is step one.”
Go Charlie. We’re all rooting for you.
4. Something can be made out of nothing.
Just when things look bleak for the factory, with a bit of leather and a little bit of luck, Charlie has made something special and unique. All that’s missing is a heel.
5. Let your needs be known.
Lola decides to travel to Northampton to make sure she gets exactly what she wants! To make sure the factory workers understand her needs, she brings the Angels as back up.
The high-heeled strutting queens are sure to bring the house down!
6. Everybody say yeah!
Dancing on conveyor belts. How else do you make shoes?
7. We all have something in common.
It’s not all glitz and glam. In a lovely moment among dancing drag queens and glitter, Charlie and Lola discover that they have more in common than they thought. Both of them decided to take their own paths in life, even if it meant going against what their fathers wanted.
Listen out for the beautiful song, “I’m Not My Father’s Son.” We’re crying, and so are you.
8. You can change the world if you change your mind.
When Dom challenges Lola to a boxing match to prove he is a real man, Lola’s challenge in return is simple: Accept someone for who they are.
9. These boots are made for strutting!
Milan Fashion Week arrives. But will Charlie have any models to show off the creations?
10. Just be who you wanna be.
It’s a show with a warm heart and an even warmer motto.
"Pursue the truth, learn something new, accept yourself and you’ll accept others too. Let love shine, let pride be your guide… you can change the world if you change your mind!"
