The show, which is running at Nottingham's Theatre Royal until Saturday June 8 and at Sheffield's Lyceum Theatre from June 11 to 22 is inspired by true events.

Kinky Boots takes audiences from a gentlemen's shoe factory in Northampton to the glamorous catwalks of Milan. Charlie Price is struggling to live up to his father's expectations and continue the family business of Prince & Son. With the factory's future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola, a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos. Kayi Ushe plays the role of Lola among a cast which includes Paula Lane, known for her role as Kylie Platt in Coronation Street, as Lauren and Joel Harper-Jackson who is cast as Charlie.
