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 starring 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 as Lola.

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.

Very disappointing

Having seen the film I had high expectations for this show, however was sorely disappointed. The conversion to a musical lost the nuance and comedy of the core plot, the sound quality was terrible and the vocals were quite weak for most of the cast with some exceptions. 5he dancing was OK but not great.

Excellent show

I absolutely loved Kinky Boots at the London Coliseum yesterday. The energy from the cast was incredible from start to finish. The dancing was outstanding, with brilliantly choreographed routines that were full of confidence and excitement. The costumes were vibrant, glamorous and perfectly suited to the show, adding so much colour and personality to every scene. The singing was exceptional, with powerful vocals that brought both the emotional and uplifting moments to life. It was a thoroughly entertaining production that left me smiling all the way home. Highly recommended!

An absolutly delightful assault on the senses!

The theatre is absolutely stunning, easy to find and easy to access. Staff at the door were very efficient. Once inside we got a little confused as to where the seats were located, but helpful staff on hand to show us. The seating was comfortable and the view was excellent. I attended the show with my Daughter and Sister they had not seen the story or the show before, i myself had seen it many years ago when first in the West End. We had travelled from Suffolk and it was well worth it. The performance was Outstanding!! It was a fantastic surprise to see Johanas in the lead roll of Lola, the theatre erupted when he entered the stage. The whole cast was amazing, the costumes,lighting and sets were excellent really adding to the story. If I had one thing to say even slightly negative, it was that as someone with chronic kidney problems and can't wait for the bathroom, there was only 2 ladies toilets on the balcony where we were sat.. Having said that it worked out ok. Overall what a great experience at The Collisum...

Energetic and thought provoking

What a show!! From start to finish it was engaging. The costumes were a plethora of colour and each member of the cast brought their own personality to the show. Proudly South African to see Johannes Radebe on stage and what a presence he has. The diction for some of the songs was not always clear as the music seemed to “drown out” their words. I had an amazing seat, bought the night before in the middle of a row in the stalls. Definitely not a show for young children as the language and underlying story line are for adults.
