👠 MEET THE CAST/CREATIVE TEAM OF THE SHOES! 👠

The secret is out! We’re thrilled to introduce the incredible cast bringing The Shoes to life at the New York Theatre Festival this December!

Inspired by the true story of Hollywood costume designer Kent Warner and his discovery of Judy Garland’s iconic Ruby Slippers, The Shoes explores the fine line between preservation and obsession- and the price of holding on too tightly.

Every obsession has a price.

We can’t wait for you to see what we’ve been working on! Stay tuned for more announcements, behind-the-scenes moments, and ticket information.
