Get ready for a dazzling dose of sequins and stilettos, because Chookas Entertainment is bringing their production, Kinky Boots the Musical, to the Civic Theatre Newcastle this December.
The production, which tells the story of a struggling factory owner who finds an unlikely partner in Lola, a drag queen with a flair for fashion, marks a major milestone for the rising local theatre company—its debut on the city’s premier stage.
With a Tony Award-winning score by Cyndi Lauper and a book by Harvey Fierstein, the show blends humour, heart, and high-energy numbers into a show that has become a must-see all around the world.
“Kinky Boots is more than just a musical- it’s a message of love, acceptance, and the power of being unapologetically yourself,” Chookas Entertainment Producer, Jody Miller said.
“We are thrilled to bring this story to life in Newcastle and to do so on the Civic stage with the incredible support of our community.
This is a show with a whole lot of heart, and we can’t wait for audiences to experience the magic.”
Leading the local cast is Zac Smith as Charlie Price, the factory owner, and Tyler Chapman as Lola. The two leads will be backed by a supporting cast including Siddha Crossley, Brynn Hulls, and Chris Porters.
Ticket holders should expect bold costumes, big vocals, and a whole lot of glitter!
The Chookas Entertainment production of Kinky Boots will take to the stage at the Civic Theatre Newcastle for a limited season from the 18th until the 21st of December 2025. Tickets are on sale now at civictheatrenewcastle.com.au.
