KINKY BOOTS – A colorful musical at the Folies Bergère
An unexpected story at the heart of the musical
The story of KINKY BOOTS begins with Charlie Price, a young man who inherits the family business specializing in shoe manufacturing. While the future of the company seems uncertain, an unexpected encounter will turn his plans upside down. Charlie meets Lola, a cabaret artist with a strong character and remarkable personality.
From this encounter comes an idea that is both surprising and daring: designing a particularly original range of shoes to give the company a new lease of life. This professional adventure will quickly become a human adventure. The two characters, who initially seem to have nothing in common, will learn to work together and overcome their differences.
Through this story, KINKY BOOTS energetically explores universal themes such as friendship, trust, self-acceptance, tolerance and openness to others. The show thus succeeds in combining entertainment and emotion without losing the rhythm that gives great musicals their charm.
Cyndi Lauper's music at the heart of the show
One of the great strengths of KINKY BOOTS lies in its music. The songs were composed by Cyndi Lauper, an iconic figure in international pop music. Her musical universe gives the show a highly recognizable identity, with rhythmic tracks and more emotional passages that accompany the different stages of the story.
This score fully contributes to the energy of the performance. The songs, artists' movements and choreography respond to one another to create a lively and generous show. Fans of musicals, as well as spectators who simply want to enjoy an original evening in Paris, can therefore experience a production designed to be both spectacular and accessible.
The international success of KINKY BOOTS also demonstrates its impact. The musical has notably been performed on Broadway and in the West End, and its accolades include six Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

On stage, Gwendal Marimoutou notably plays the character of Simon / Lola. His experience in the world of musical theater allows him to bring a stage presence particularly suited to the energy and universe of this production.
This new version therefore provides a wonderful opportunity to discover KINKY BOOTS in a prestigious Parisian setting, while enjoying a French cast and artistic team.
