SEEKING:
Equity and Non-Equity actors/singers/dancers for the roles of Lola and Charlie in RMTC's production of Kinky Boots. Rehearsals will begin May 12, 2020 and the show will run June 5-28, 2020.
CHARLIE PRICE (Male) Late 20’s – early 30’s, Caucasian. Sings C3–B4. A leading man, just out of college. He is privileged, but likeable — his father owns the shoe factory. He is handsome and loveable but there is a temper right under the skin. Must have a great rock voice, ability to move and be a strong actor.
LOLA (Male) 30’s–40’s, African-American. Sings C3–B4. An emotionally and physically challenging role that requires the body of a boxer with the soul of a Diva, a la Whitney Houston. Must have star presence and feel comfortable wearing everything from full glamour as a scene-stealing drag performer to nothing but boxing trunks. Must have a killer voice with power blues and gospel chops. Strong comedic actor.
DON (Male) 30’s–40’s. Sings C3–F4 (must have a strong falsetto to D5 for the Finale). Lola’s nemesis. Burly hyper-masculine bear of a factory worker. Has a menacing physicality. Least likely to be seen on a runway in kinky boots. Strong actor required.
