YAOS productions are proud to announce that they will be one of the first Amateur groups in the country to stage, Kinky Boots the Musical. The Tony, Grammy & Olivier Award-winning musical from pop icon Cyndi Lauper and legendary playwright Harvey Fierstein.
Inspired by true events, this huge-hearted hit tells the story of two people with nothing in common – or so they think.
Set in Northampton, a young Charlie Price reluctantly inherits his father's struggling shoe factory, much to the dismay of his demanding fiancé who dreams of a life together in London. Charlie wrestles with his desires to leave his home town whilst facing up with his responsibility to save his father's legacy and the family business from bankruptcy.
After a slow start Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola, a fabulous drag performer who is in need of some sturdy stilettos for her act. Against all the odds Lola turns out to be the one person who can help Charlie, and they work together to ensure the factory becomes a success. As they work together to change people's opinions, this unlikely pair find out that they have more in common than they ever thought, and together they come to understand that when you change your mind, you can change the world.
Additional Performance Note - Monday 14 March:
Due to the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, Yeovil Amateur Operatic Society have decided to cancel the performances of KINKY BOOTS on Monday 14 & Tuesday 15 March.
Performances on Wednesday 16 to Saturday 19 are still currently going ahead as scheduled.
A message from the company - Despite our best endeavours of adhering to enhanced Covid procedures, unfortunately during the first week of the show we have suffered several cast & crew members testing positive for Covid-19. On each occasion we have asked these individuals to voluntarily withdraw from the production as we felt this was the right course of action for all involved. Sadly we have taken the decision to cancel the next two performances of Kinky Boots (Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th March) to put in a circuit break and try to prevent any further spread of infection.
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International (Europe).
All authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI Europe. www.mtishows.co.uk
