CONNOR ALLSTON
Actor. Singer. Dancer
“Allston is the perfect leading man.”
Julie Yolles on Kinky Boots - BroadwayWorld.com
“Connor Allston's portrayal of Charlie Price was fit to a t. His powerful voice that lent exceptionally well to the fine score written by Cyndi Lauper made us rock out at moments, and feel the ache in our hearts the next. With huge shoes to fill coming from following in the footsteps of Stark Sands, Brendon Urie, Jake Shears, and Killian Donnelly to name a few; Connor's portrayal delivered and then some, exceptional kudos goes to Connor for this wonderful performance. Standout moments for Charlie were the beautiful ‘Soul of a Man’, and the rousing ‘Everybody Say Yeah!’”

“Charlie Price (Connor Allston) had an absolutely incredible voice. It was so different than the traditional Broadway singer I am used to hearing but he blew me away with the emotion he conveyed.
His performance in "Step One" was so empowering and emotional.”
Jordan Higginbotham on Kinky Boots - BroadwayWorld.com
“Allston has the tougher role, largely because he doesn’t get the sassy lines or the big reveals. He goes toe-to-toe with Mosley and claims his own spotlight. Both have great voices; both sell this show like it’s the newest Air Jordan.”
Bruce Miller on Kinky Boots - Sioux City Journal
“As Price, Allston is endearing and it’s his journey throughout the production that is captivating… During “Soul of a Man,” Allston is the definition of vulnerable.”
Adrian Gomez / Journal Arts and Entertainment Editor on Kinky Boots - Albuquerque Journal
“Two moments of the show moved me. One was the duet between Mosley and Allston in "Not My Father's Son”... Allston showed a sensitive side, letting the audience know you can always find common ground, even in the most difficult and saddest of experiences. Allston's performance of "Soul of a Man"... He poured his soul and emotion into that song and left it on the stage.”

“Allston is excellent as Charlie Price, boasting a rich singing voice and likable persona. It was almost unbelievable (in a good way) when he had to take the character to a harsher place. Allston's songs were not only very character driven, but very well sung. The numbers, "Step One" and "Soul of a Man," were quite powerful and inspiring to watch.”
"Allston finds the right combination of intensity and confusion for Cliff, while also revealing a very fine singing voice."

“Connor Allston’s “Roger” is phenomenal, maybe the best singing in a very strong cast, and his desperate attempts to hide his fragility and the outpouring when he cracks, are heartbreaking and uncomfortable to watch.”
