About Kinky Boots

Kinky Boots at the London Coliseum is a brand-new production of the multi-award-winning musical, running in London from March 2026. It stars Strictly Come Dancing’s Johannes Radebe.

Based on an uplifting true story and the much-loved film, the show follows Charlie Price as he tries to save his family’s failing shoe factory. His unlikely solution comes after he meets Lola, a sparkling drag queen who offers a very different way to turn the business around.

Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, Kinky Boots features Tony and Grammy Award-winning music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper, a book by Harvey Fierstein and direction by Nikolai Foster. It is a story about friendship and individuality, set to a score with a strong stage pedigree.

Key facts: The production runs for a strictly limited 17-week season at the London Coliseum. Written by Harvey Fierstein, with music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper.
