Storyhouse in Chester has now found the full cast cast for its production of musical Kinky Boots (May 3-18).
Featuring a Tony and Grammy-winning score by Cyndi Lauper and book by Harvey Fierstein, Kinky Boots tells tale of Charlie Price, who inherits a struggling shoe factory. A meeting with fabulous drag queen Lola sparks a transformation in the business model, leading to a journey of acceptance and innovation.
Danny Becker (Frozen, Aladdin, Follies, West End) leads the cast as shoe factory owner Charlie, with Duane-Lamonte O’Garro (The Lion King, Dress Circle) as drag queen Lola.
The ensemble features Gareth Cassidy as George, Phil Corbitt as Mr Price, Rachael Garnett as Milan Fashion Week stage manager, Lynwen Haf Roberts as Pat, Kaitlin Howard as Trish, James Ifan as Richard Bailey, Sebastian Lim-Seet as Harry, James Lowrie as Angel, Roddy Lynch as Don, Remi Martin as Angel, Seren Sandham-Davies as Nicola, Thomas Sankey as Angel and Leah Vassell as Lauren.
In addition to the show, Storyhouse is holding a Kinky Boots: Strut workshop on May 11. Combining burlesque, jazz and commercial dance, it promises fun for all aged 16-plus at all skill levels.
There are also after-show parties on May 11 and 12, with cocktails, performances by drag queen Tequila Thirst, a Kinky Boots catwalk and a night of dancing.
