Unfortunately, this is not a film based on the B'way musical; rather, the B'way musical is based on the film, or its source material. The Music tag is because CE works as a chanteuse.
Well done drama with humor, heart, and sexual ambiguity.
IMDb trivia: Inspired by the true story of a traditional English men's footwear factory in Northamptonshire which turned to production of kinky boots for transvestites in order to save the ailing family business and safeguard the jobs of the local community.
