Episode 15: KINKY BOOTS Director, Tim Jackson, talks about his revival of this glorious musical

New Wolsey Theatre Podcast

In episode 15 of the New Wolsey Theatre Podcast, we talk to the multi-talented Tim Jackson - artistic director of our upcoming show Kinky Boots !
We chat about his path to becoming a director, with stories of initially being an actor, working for free, a great deal of fringe theatre and taking guidance from Doug Rintoul - Chief Executive of the New Wolsey Theatre.
We speak about the story of Kinky Boots and how, as a production for regional theatres, this one differs from previous West End versions.
Tim talks to us about the important messages of this iconic musical, what he wants audiences to take from it, and the value of perfecting the casting - listen out for the incredible timescale involved in finalising the team!
A huge thank you to Tim for giving up valuable time during rehearsals to record with us!
