The most ‘fun, feel-good and unforgettable’ (The Sun) musical of the season is now open at the London Coliseum. KINKY BOOTS, the Olivier, Tony and Grammy Award-winning sensation, is rebooted in this brand-new production that The Stage calls ‘a sequin-soaked fantasia on the West End’s biggest stage’.
Featuring ‘a fierce and fabulous performance’ (Evening Standard) from Strictly Come Dancing superstar Johannes Radebe and the ‘immaculate vocals’ (The Scotsman) of X Factor winner Matt Cardle, this ‘sparkly, joyful and life-affirming' production (Daily Star) runs at London Coliseum until 11th July.
Based on an uplifting true story and the much-loved movie, KINKY BOOTS brings together music and lyrics by pop icon Cyndi Lauper and a hilarious book by Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, under the direction of award-winning Nikolai Foster (Grease, The Wizard of Oz), to create ‘a glorious revival of a modern Broadway classic’ (The Stage).
