Kinky Boots description

Strictly Come Dancing's Johannes Radebe rocks the dance floor in the Kinky Boots musical.

Johannes Radebe stars in the smash hit West End musical Kinky Boots on his West End debut, a thrill for fans of the show as well as Strictly lovers. Based on the popular 2005 movie and premiering on Broadway in 2013, it transferred to London’s Adelphi Theatre for an enormous 2015 to 2019 run. It's so good to see this huge hit back in town for 2026, spiced up in a brand new production.

Based on the true story of the WJ Brookes shoe factory, the plot follows Charlie Price, who has inherited a failing family shoemaking business. He has no idea how to save the company until he meets drag performer Lola, who inspires him to make beautiful, purpose-built heels for the cross-dressing community.

The show is directed by the Curve’s Artistic Director, Nikolai Foster (The Wizard of Oz, A Chorus Line), with a score by Cyndi Lauper and a book by Harvey Fierstein. The choreography is by Leah Hill, the set and costume design is by Robert Jones and the musical supervision by George Dyer. Lighting design comes from Ben Cracknell and sound design from Adam Fisher. The wigs, hair and make up design are by Campbell Young Associates and casting is by Harry Blumenau CDG CDA.

Kinky Boots tickets take you to a place where everyone's accepted for who they are, a feel-good treat for West End musical fans packed with brilliant choreography, gorgeous songs and glittering glitz.
