Kinky Boots is an uplifting, award-winning musical based on a true story and the 2005 film, featuring music by Cyndi Lauper and a book by Harvey Fierstein.
It follows Charlie Price, who inherits his father's struggling British shoe factory, and Lola, a drag queen who helps him save the business by producing high-heeled boots.
Now Derry/Londonderry Musical Society (LMS) are set to stage the dazzling musical in the Millennium Forum from March 11-14 with a host of Causeway Coast and Glens faces in the line-up.
Directing the show is Coleraine man Alan McClarty who is well known on the north coast for his award-winning performances with Ballywillan Drama Group as well as his directing and acting roles with his own company, Bannsider Productions.
Playing the lead role of Charlie Price is another Coleraine man, Luke de Belder. Luke is no stranger to LMS having performed the role of Curly in Oklahoma! last year, a role which earned him a nomination as Best Male Singer in the Association of Irish Musical Societies awards scheme.
He also played Beast in the Millennium Forum’s recent smash hit pantomime ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
Taking on the role of Don in Kinky Boots is the third Coleraine man in the group, Adam Goudy. Adam is no stranger to north coast audiences either, having played many roles in both Portrush Music Society and Ballywillan Drama Group.
Other Causeway Coast and Glens cast members include Scott Hawthorne as Harry along with ensemble members Daniel Iliff, Karen Olphert, Nuala Quinn, Hilary Lyttle, Abby Mullan, Niamh Murray and Jay Lapesley.
