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 finds that they have more in common than they realized... and discover that when you change your mind, you can change your whole world.
A note from the creative team- we welcome all gender expressions, ethnicities, abilities, and body types at our auditions. Please come as your full authentic self! As we seek to honor the artistic intent of authors Cyndi Lauper and Harvey Fierstein, Lola/Simon (both young and old) will be cast using BIPOC actors, and our Angels will be male-identifying actors in drag.
