British shoe brand Tricker’s factory in Northampton was the setting for the popular 2005 movie Kinky Boots and the cast of the new stage musical, which recently opened on The Strand, were invited to the factory to meet the team and get an insight into the creation of hand made shoes.
In return they were all invited back to a preview of the musical and we were lucky enough to tag along. Without doubt it was one of the best musicals any of us had ever seen. After the performance we stayed behind for a big group shot of the company and Tricker’s staff. The night was made even more special when the director Jerry Mitchell and the legendary Cyndi Lauper (who wrote the score) appeared and joined in. For the first time ever Team SCPR were star struck and sang True Colours all the way home.
