Charlie Price is the protagonist of the movie turned Broadway musical, Kinky Boots. After his father dies, he inherits the family shoe factory, but he isn't ready to assume the responsibility, especially as profits look bleak. While seeking a new market, he encounters a group of muggers harassing a woman. Charlie intervenes but gets knocked unconscious, and the woman ends up saving him. Turns out that woman is Lola, the drag queen who headlines her own show, yet can't fit into women's boots. The two create a whole new line of shoes made for drag queens, fittingly called "kinky boots", with Lola as the designer. Their partnership helps Charlie overcome dealing with his father's legacy, which leads to their shared success. Stark Sands originated the role on Broadway. Celebrities such as American Idol winner David Cook and Panic! At the Disco's Brendon Urie have also stepped into the role -- or should we say, stepped into the kinky boots!
