Based on a true story and the 2005 movie of the same name, Kinky Boots follows Charlie Price, who inherits his father'’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.
Kinky Boots features a book by Harvey Fierstein and a score by Cyndi Lauper, and is directed by Nikolai Foster with choreography by Leah Hill, set design by Robert Jones, and costume design by Robert Jones and Tom Rogers.
It stars Strictly Come Dancing's Johannes Radebe as Lola and X-Factor winner Matt Cardle as Charlie Price, with Tosh Wanagho-Maud as Alternate Lola, Courtney Bowman as Lauren, Billie-Kay as Nicola, Billy Roberts as Don, Rachel Izen as Pat, Jessica Daley as Trish, Jonathan Dryden Taylor as Mr Price, Scott Paige as George and Liam Doyle as Harry.
Kinky Boots opens on 17th March 2026, for 17 weeks until 11th July 2026, with a special Gala Night on Sunday 29 March in support of international charity WaterAid.
