ESTONIA GETS KINKY!

The Finnish production of KINKY BOOTS set to open at Teater Vanemuine in November 2024!

It is with great pleasure that we can announce that the beloved production of KINKY BOOTS will have its Estonian premiere in November 2024 at Teater Vanemuine. The Finnish version, which was playing for sold-out houses in Finland, will get a new life in Estonia with the creative team joining forces to make it the heartwarming, party-filled show that we all know.

“We are overjoyed by how fantastic it is that this sold-out show will continue its journey over the borders of Finland to bring the happiness, love, and party to Estonia. This is a great milestone for a Finnish created design to be raising interest outside of Finland. We are more than happy to collaborate with this strong musical producer in Estonia.”
- Samuel Harjanne, Director.

For American musical, Anastasia uses lots of European operetta tradition, which works well with the topic of the story. Direction by Samuel Harjanne is as well deliciously aware of tradition.
