Grand Rapids Civic Theatre will host auditions for its production of “Kinky Boots” Feb. 13.
“Kinky Boots”, inspired by true events, is the story of Charlie, a straight-laced business owner, who inherits his family’s family shoe factory. Uninspired by the work but desperate to succeed, Charlie forms an unlikely partnership with cabaret performer and drag queen Lola. Together, they produce a line of custom high-heeled boots to save the business. In the process, Charlie and Lola discover that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible.
Winner of six 2013 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The score was written by Cyndi Lauper with book by Broadway legend Harvey Fierstein.
The cast calls for 25-30 adults, ages 18 and older, of all gender identities and ethnicities, and two male children, ages 9-13.
Auditons for children roles will be from 5 – 6 p.m. Feb. 13 and adult roles will be from 6 – 10 p.m. Callbacks will be Feb. 15 and 16.
