From the Soul to the Heel: The Story Behind Kinky Boots

From the Soul to the Heel: The Story Behind Kinky Boots

Market Theatre’s production of the award-winning Broadway musical Kinky Boots will be bursting with sparkling costumes, music that will make you want to get up and dance and sing along with the cast (please refrain from doing so, however), and a powerful story. Directed and Choreographed by Jonathan “Thor” Raines and Mary Haley Thompson, Kinky Boots was inspired by the true story of Steve Pateman and the shoe factory that had been in his family for four generations.
