Johannes Radebe will make his West End musical debut!
Coming to the West End in 2026! Making dancing, twirling, and somersaulting in heels look easy since it sashayed into London's Adelphi Theatre in 2013, Cyndi Lauper and Harvey Fierstein's musical has taken the world by storm with its message of acceptance, a cracking pop-filled score, and a dizzying amount of fabulousness. Garnering six Tony Awards and three Olivier Awards, it's time to let your hair down and get ready for this spectacular show to light up the West End!
Set in Northampton, London-bound Charlie Price is surprised to suddenly inherit his beloved father's shoe factory and even more surprised to find that handmade men's dress shoes are no longer quite as in vogue as they used to be. Facing closure, a dejected Charlie chances upon Lola, the charismatic, brassy and fabulous drag queen and finds himself forming an unlikely business partnership, creating custom shoes for drag queens, which will change their lives forever...
Kinky Boots is based on the 2005 film starring Joel Edgerton and Chiwetel Ejiofor but that in turn was based on the true story of family-run shoe factory W.J. Brooks Ltd that fought to save their business by creating fetish footwear for men under the name 'Divine Footwear'.
Please note: The producers can't guarantee the appearance of any performers on any specific date.
