Kinky Boots UK tour heads for Liverpool Empire

Multi award-winning hit musical Kinky Boots is making its first visit to Liverpool next spring.

The West End and Broadway smash will be at the Liverpool Empire for a fortnight from March 25 to April 6 as part of an inaugural UK tour.

Tickets are on general sale from today.

Kinky Boots is based on the film of the same name, and tells the story of a family shoe factory in Northampton that is struggling until its young owner decides to start making some magnificently outrageous footwear for the fabulous Lola and her fellow performers.

The musical has a book by Harvey Feirstein, songs penned by 80s pop songstress Cyndi Lauper and choreography by two-time Tony® Award-winner Jerry Mitchell.

Cyndi Lauper said: “It’s been a wonderful adventure and a privilege for me, to play a part in creating Kinky Boots. Everyone can relate to this universal story, and I’m overwhelmed that people in the UK have embraced it with open arms.

"I'm thrilled that this fabulous show will be touring the country.”

Kinky Boots comes to the Liverpool Empire from March 25 to April 6 2019. Tickets from the website HERE
