KINKY BOOTS (CINEMA) – DIR: JULIAN JARROLD
Role: Singing Coach and Vocal Arranger
YEAR: 2004
Phil was the Singing Coach and Vocal Arranger on the film Kinky Boots, primarily coaching the award winning actor Chiwetel Ejiofor. Work on style, mic-technique and confidence was required to turn Chiwetel into Lola, a performing drag queen, and make her a believably "seasoned performer" and singer. Phil helped select the musical material, adapted it for Lola's voice and also arranged the 'Shoe Medley' for the Finale scene.
Lola (Chiwetel Ejiofor) saves the day on the catwalk in Milan by performing a boots medley assisted by cross-dressing background dancers.
Charlie (Joel Edgerton) takes Lauren (Sarah-Jane Potts) to see a performance by Lola (Chiwetel Ejiofor).
