The hilarious and inspiring classic “Kinky Boots” arrives for the first time on Blu-ray May 31st from Paramount Home Entertainment.
Featuring a Golden Globe®-nominated* performance by Chiwetel Ejiofor (“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”), as well as terrific performances by Joel Edgerton (“The Green Knight”), Sarah-Jane Potts (“The Chameleon”), and Nick Frost (“Shaun of the Dead”), “Kinky Boots” is a refreshing, feel-good film that proves the best way to fit in is to stand out. The film was inspired by the real-life story of a family-owned shoe factory in England and ultimately inspired a Broadway musical that earned six Tony Awards, including Best Original Score, Best Actor, and Best Musical.
The Price family has made very sensible, very conservative shoes for men for generations. But to save the business from imminent bankruptcy, young Charlie Price (Edgerton) turns to an unlikely new creative consultant: a fabulous drag performer (Ejiofor) whose creative style and wild designs are a breath of fresh air in the stuffy old factory.
The “Kinky Boots” Blu-ray features access to a digital copy of the film and legacy bonus content, including audio commentary with the director and members of the cast, deleted scenes, and behind-the-scenes featurettes. Bonus material is detailed below.
