Settle in for an evening of laughter, inspiration, and classic cinema at Screen Queens: Kinky Boots at Electric Chapel in Hinckley. As part of the venue’s popular Screen Queens film series, this special screening celebrates the much-loved 2006 British comedy-drama Kinky Boots, a feel-good story that has become a favourite within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.
Based on true events, Kinky Boots follows struggling shoe factory owner Charlie Price, whose business takes an unexpected turn when he forms an unlikely friendship with the charismatic drag queen Lola. Together, they embark on a mission to design stylish, sturdy footwear for drag performers, creating a heartwarming story about acceptance, resilience, friendship, and embracing individuality. Packed with humour, memorable characters, and powerful messages, the film later inspired the award-winning Broadway and West End musical.
