About the Show

Kinky Boots is the big-hearted musical extravaganza that won six Tonys including Best Musical, the Grammy for Best Musical Theatre album and London’s Olivier Award for Best Musical. Kinky Boots features a joyous, Tony-winning score by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, and a hilarious, uplifting book by four-time Tony winner, Harvey Fierstein. Billy Porter won a Best Actor Tony Award for his portrayal of Lola.

Charlie Price has reluctantly inherited his father’s shoe factory, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. Trying to live up to his father’s legacy and save his family business, Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola, a fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair find that they have more in common than they realized… and discover that when you change your mind, you can change your whole world.

Audition Information

We are in need of a Young Lola/Simon to complete our Kinky Boots cast! Those interested in auditioning for the role should send a video of themselves singing 16-32 bars of a song that best shows off your talents to [email protected].

Young Lola/Simon is featured in the opening and closing numbers, as well as an additional 1-2 scenes in between. This role is a great opportunity for those new to theatre and looking to expand their experiences!

Young Lola/Simon should be male presenting (we will consider those that identify as female; just note that the role will be played as a male character), tenor, and appear to be between the ages of 8-15. This is our leading spitfire as a young boy who already knows that he is destined to wear heels and change the world. Black ethnicity is preferred, but BIPOC will also be considered.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the above email as well.”
