<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt">
CHAGRIN FALLS, OH - Chagrin Valley Little Theatre is

Based on the 2005 film of the same name (which was in turn
inspired by true events), this highly anticipated
production promises to captivate audiences with its
infectious energy, powerful performances, and heartwarming
story. "Kinky Boots" follows the journey of Charlie Price,
played by Josh Budd, who inherits his father's struggling
shoe factory. Desperate to save the business from
bankruptcy, Charlie forms an unlikely partnership with the
fabulous drag queen Lola, portrayed by Anthony
Woods-Mitchell. Together, they discover that they have
more in common than they thought, and that changing your
mind about someone can change your whole world.</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt">
Directed by Greta Rothman, with musical direction by
Andrew Novak and choreography by Jen Justice, "Kinky
Boots" is exhilarating, inspiring, and downright fun! The
