November 14, 2022 Arts & Entertainment “Kinky Boots” rock the stage at CMU Story by Izzie Pasciolla, Photos provided by the CMU Theatre and Dance Department The infamous red glittery boots hit the stage of Bush Theatre last week as audience members were encouraged to “Just Be” during the CMU production of “Kinky Boots.” Charlie Price, played by CMU freshman Lucas Colbatzky, goes on a self-discovering journey in this musical as he figures out what he’s truly passionate about. “I just wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to do,” Colbatzky said. “I lived a nice life, nothing incredible, nothing horrible, just a life. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it and I’m slowly figuring it out, so I really identify with [Charlie].” This was Colbatzky’s first show at CMU. He performed alongside Justin Rivers (Lola) and Dallas Dudley (Lauren). CMU students and guest actor Justin Rivers performed the musical “Kinky Boots” at Bush Theatre from Nov. 9 through 13. The show is about “accepting other ideas” according to Colbatzky. He describes Charlie Price as an average character who wanted to follow his dreams. “Eventually he finds his passion and purpose and he makes it happen,” he said. “So by the end of the play I’m a developed character and I’m a happy character.” Colbatzky has enjoyed this role because the character is so similar to himself and his experiences. “As my director has said many times throughout rehearsals, ‘It’s you,’” he said. Lead actor Lucas Colbatzky describes the show as one about “accepting other ideas” and finding your passion. Colbatzky really enjoyed the message of accepting others in this play and hopes that CMU students and others from the community were able to open their minds to the way other people live. Students perform a dance during the dress rehearsal of CMU’s production of “Kinky Boots” “It just shows you another point of view,” he said. “If for no other reason than that, it’s a great reason to put the show on.” Colbatzky said he had an amazing time participating in this production and he loved the characters and the story. “Every week I walk in and there’s something that just got added to our show and every time I walk into rehearsal and I’m like ‘Wow, this is so much fun,’” he said.
