KINKY BOOTS: THE MUSICAL (2019)

Our Summer of Song continues!

"Charlie Price, a young man from Northern England, takes over a struggling family shoemaking business after the death of his father. Lola, a feisty drag queen, attempts to rescue the factory by designing fabulous and fetishistic footwear.”

While discussion participants usually arrive having watched the film beforehand, you are invited to come and listen if you haven't seen the film yet.

BE AWARE THE MUSICAL (2019) IS BASED ON A NON-MUSICAL FILM (2005), and that the promotion for each looks the same!
