Our story

Five local actors starring in Morecambe Warblers’ upcoming production of Kinky Boots, are to undertake a sponsored leg wax for charity, before their performances at Lancaster Grand theatre this September.

Samuel Wicks, who plays the glamourous drag performer, Lola, will be joined by four of his ‘Angels’ Taylor Heald-Oliphant, AJ Morris, Morgan Cvetkovic-Jones & Sam Reeve-Stennett, for the sponsored wax as part of the transformation into their roles as fabulous drag queens.

Samuel, 27 from Lancaster said: Kinky Boots is such a feel-good show. I love the message behind the whole story; it’s about friendship, acceptance & love. Hopefully the audience will be laughing, crying and dancing along with us.”

“We’re embracing the experience of becoming drag performers. We’re acting, singing and dancing in full hair, make-up and, of course, our high-heeled kinky boots. We’re suffering for our art, but getting waxed is going to help us get in to character. I think they might need a fair few wax strips for me but it’s all got to come off!”

The actors have decided to use their beautification to raise funds for two local charities; CancerCare, a local cancer & bereavement charity & Out in the Bay, a Morecambe-based charity who work with LGBTI people. Lancaster beautician, Caroline Morris of All About Eve, has offered to wield the waxing strips in support of the boys’ fundraising efforts.

Morecambe Warblers Chairman, John Beamer, said “We’re so lucky to have such a great team of cast & crew bringing this show to the Lancaster Grand stage, and we are so proud of our Angels for all their hard work and for going the extra mile to support these excellent local causes too. I’ve seen them in rehearsals and they are amazing – you don’t want to miss them strutting their stuff!”

Morecambe Warblers will be performing ‘Kinky Boots’ at Lancaster Grand Theatre between 24th - 28h September. Performances are 7.30pm each evening, with a Saturday matinee performance at 2pm. Tickets are available at Kinky Boots (ticketsolve.com) or by calling 01524 64695.
