Lola’s Angels are performed by Liam Reynolds, Nik Gatz, Daniel Cormie, and Josha Roopnarine, alongside Luke Buff as Young Charlie and Logan Leach as Young Simon. David Braucher plays Mr. Price, and Jacob Crowd takes on the role of Simon Sr. The ensemble features Anthony Jones, Vincent Panetta, Lily Reynolds (understudy Angel), Tyler Rexhouse (understudy Richard Bailey), Debbie Warnock (understudy Trish), and Marlee Wymer.

Music direction is by Jared West, with vocal direction by Iris Rogers. The up-beat score is brought to life by a live band featuring Robert Ackerman on percussion, Gabe Gallagher on bass, Kai Lamothe and Uta Nagai on guitar, and Jared West on piano. The creative team includes Production Stage Manager Margo Hatzel, Assistant Stage Manager Mel Magri, Lighting and Wig Designer Courtnie Harrington, Properties and Costume Designer Rebecca Paige, Assistant Choreographer Mea Cleary, Fight Choreographer and Dialect Coach Dan Evers, and Resident Scenic Designer Charles J. I. Krawczyk. The production is produced by Fort Salem Theater’s Interim Executive and Artistic Director, Courtnie Harrington.

A heartwarming, high-heeled hit, Kinky Boots struts onto the stage with a message of acceptance, friendship, and unapologetic self-expression.
