Footwear factory musical wins big at Tony Awards

14/06/2013
Kinky Boots, a musical about a footwear factory in Northampton, has won six Tony awards including best new musical.

Singer Cindy Lauper won best score for her first Broadway musical and Billy Porter won best actor at the US-based awards for musical theatre.

Adapted from a 2005 film, the story revolves around a family-owned factory that avoids bankruptcy when its young boss develops a plan to produce footwear for drag artists rather than the dress shoes that his firm is known for.
