IMDb plot summary: A filmed version of the popular stage musical, in which a feisty drag queen attempts to rescue a shoe factory by designing fabulous and fetishistic footwear.
Directed by Jerry Mitchell and Brett Sullivan. Starring Matt Henry, Killian Donnelly, Natalie McQueen, and Sean Needham.
I wasn't at all familiar with the musical before watching this, or the original movie, so I had virtually no idea what this was actually about. It does make me want to watch the original film more than see the show live. The story itself is engaging, but the songs aren't terribly creative or interesting, and I'm not fully sold on Matt Henry as the flashy Lola (though his rendition of "Not My Father's Son" is lovely). Overall, a decent production of a not-that-interesting-to-begin-with musical.
