Kinky Boots in London
Starring:
Johannes Radebe
Based on a true story, Kinky Boots originated as a classic British comedy film before making its way to the stage, charming audiences from Broadway to the West End with its heartwarming, uplifting story and catchy music.
Why You Should See Kinky Boots
- Did you know: Kinky Boots was inspired by the true story of Steve Pateman who developed a line of boots for drag queens. The 2005 film is a classic British comedy, beloved by the queer community for its positive portrayal of drag queens.
- The musical features music and lyrics by the iconic Cyndi Lauper, with uplifting, catchy tunes such as “Everybody Say Yeah," "Sex is in the Heel," and "Raise You Up" that will be stuck in your head for days after.
- What do critics say? Stage and Cinema Magazine called it ‘a blue-collar, Cinderella story that puts its own spin on the feel-good’, Time Out called it ‘The very model of a modern major musical'. Find out for yourself if these flowing reviews do it justice!
What is Kinky Boots about?
Charlie Price inherits his family’s struggling Northampton shoe factory. But his life takes a turn when he meets Lola, a dazzling drag queen who might hold the key to saving his business and changing the way he sees himself. In this beloved and joyful queer musical, Charlie and Lola team up to create a line of sturdy, stylish boots for drag queens.
The 2005 film staring Joel Edgerton and Chiwetel Ejiofor became an instant hit for its quintessentially British comedy, and premiered as a Broadway music in 2013, with music and lyrics by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein and directed by Nikolai Foster (Grease, The Wizard of Oz). Now the Broadway and West End phenomenon returns with a brand-new production starring Strictly Come Dancing’s Johannes Radebe and rising star Dan Partridge.
With a gloriously catchy soundtrack, memorable characters, and inspiring themes about acceptance and overcoming adversity, this feel-good musical is sure to brighten up your day and put a smile on your face. Kinky Boots has won hearts as well as awards all over the world and now it returns to where it all started. Book now and get ready to strut your stuff at the London Coliseum.

EntertainingBooked to see this show on advice of people who have seen it and although I did enjoy it on the whole, there were moments where I sort of lost what was going on. I saw a few children in the audience which I would not recommend as there are a couple of adult references. I am glad I saw it but there are other shows which I would rather recommend. Unfortunately I wasn't captivated by the story.

My son loved it!!My 13 year old son and I had watched the film so were looking forward to the show. He loved it, but I found the staging disappointing. Saying that, I'm not a natural fan of musicals and it was a pleasant evening. The rest of the audience were up on their feet and cheering by the end so it might just not be my thing!

Amazing musical that everyone should watchThe set and the costumes are spectacular, particularly the shoes (of course!). The performance was good in general, with some flawlessly excellent performers - my undeniable favourites were the performer playing Lola, and the performer playing the worker who falls in love with Charlie at the end (ironically forgot her name, so sorry). Lola had such a strong performance, loved every gesture on stage and I personally thought they really brought up the standard of the singing and the acting of the entire musical, loved the character, loved the performer, just perfect. I cried a lot towards the end, just brilliant.

Review: Kinky Boots
by Davor Golub | Wednesday, September 9 2015, 13:11
Welcome home ‘Kinky Boots’. The 2013 Tony Award winning Best Musical has landed in the United Kingdom and has definitely benefited from the journey home. When I first saw this show, which is set in Northampton, in previews on Broadway, and then again recently in Toronto with the Canadian cast, I couldn’t help but feel that a certain Britishness was lacking in both productions...
