Kinky Boots The Musical (2019)
Inspired by true events, this Broadway musical tells the story of Charlie, a factory owner trying to save his family business, and Lola, a fabulous drag queen with a wildly exciting proposition.
This unexpected pair goes on an exciting journey and learns to celebrate their differences, create a line of sturdy red stilettos - but in the end, their most important achievement is their friendship.
Kinky Boots received a season-high 13 Tony Award nominations and went on to win six, including Best Musical. The London transfer also won three Olivier Awards: Best New Musical, Best Actor in a Musical and Best Costume Design.
The West End production of Kinky Boots was filmed just before closing at the Adelphi Theatre in London.
The musical was released in cinemas by Fathom Events on June 25th, 2019 and was made available to stream through BroadwayHD later that month.
Reviews for the filmed production were enthusiastic and mostly noted the high quality technical capture of the show by Liberator Film Studios.
In his review for Blu-Ray.com, Jeffrey Kauffman said: 'Performances, especially those by Matt Henry and Killian Donnelly, are actually quite touching at times, and the stage direction and choreography by Jerry Mitchell is outstanding. Similarly, the video direction by Brett Sullivan is really well done, with a variety of angles that frequently aren't part of these live on stage renderings.
