SALOS Dons Kinky Boots

SALOS Dons Kinky Boots. With great delight, SALOS announce that rehearsals are underway for their next production. They’re bringing the uplifting, feel-good musical Kinky Boots to the Wyvern stage this autumn. 

This award-winning Broadway and West End sensation will make its long-awaited Swindon debut at the Wyvern Theatre. It promises to lift your spirits to new high-heeled heights!

When Charlie Price inherits his family’s failing shoe factory, saving both the company and his love life feels like too tall an order. Until, that is, he meets Lola, the sparkling drag queen with the unlikeliest of answers. Can they work together to reboot the business and save the day? It could be they simply need to help each other and everyone around them to stand a little taller. aAnd discover that, when you change your mind about someone, you can change the world. 

A true story

Based on an uplifting true story and much-loved film, Kinky Boots features Grammy and Tony Award-winning music and lyrics by pop icon Cyndi Lauper and a hilarious book by Harvey Fierstein. Featuring hit numbers such as Raise You Up, Land of Lola and Not My Father’s Son. 

‘We’re super excited to bring Kinky Boots to our audiences as our next production,’ said Russell Langdown, director. ‘It’s a musical full of energy, humour, and heart. And it has a powerful message about acceptance and celebrating individuality. The incredible music, spectacular choreography, and vibrant characters make it an exciting challenge for our company. And one that we’re delighted to embrace. It’s exactly the kind of production that allows SALOS to continue pushing itself. All while delivering an unforgettable theatrical experience.’
