Design by David Rockwell
The smash-hit musical is now open at the Adelphi Theatre in London!
Inspired by true events, KINKY BOOTS takes you from a gentlemen's shoe factory in Northampton to the glamorous catwalks of Milan. Charlie Price inherits the shoe factory from his late father then struggles to continue with the family business of Price & Sons. With the factory's future in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola, a drag queen from London, who struggles to find glamorous (but strong) shoes to perform in. Together Charlie and Lola design and make custom shoes for drag queens in an attempt to breathe new life in to the factory, but not everyone welcomes the change.
Harvey Fierstein's musical features the original score from Grammy and Tony winning pop icon Cyndi Lauper who also co-wrote the extravaganza.
All Scene thoroughly enjoyed building this fantastic set designed by David Rockwell. We had our draughtspeople, carpenters, engineers and scenic artists working on every aspect of the 10-week build. Take a look at some workshop photos below.
