Kinky Boots
When Charlie Price inherits his family’s failing shoe factory, saving the company – and his love life – feels like an impossibly tall order. Until, that is, he meets Lola, the sparkling, larger-than-life drag queen with the unlikeliest of answers. Can they work together to reboot the business and save the day? Perhaps they just need to help each other – and everyone around them – to stand a little taller…
A glorious celebration of friendship and individuality, let Kinky Boots raise you up higher than ever at the legendary London Coliseum for 17 weeks only.

Much needed feel good experience The true story in itself is a very uplifting tale of finding the courage to be who you should be. Being more kind and understanding to each other and not giving up. Add music, dance, comedy and some amazing costumes and you have a much needed feel good show thats much needed in these troubled times.

Excellent and great actors. And wonderful music Lovely show, enjoyed everything about it and this is actually my second time at the show. My only problem was that from my season the balcony, and basically all seats on balcony cannot see the actors that go up the stairs, at least the top part of their bodies.

Extravaganza of colour and costume. The show was enjoyable and uplifting. A feast for the eyes and great story clearly told. Good music, reasonable singing, no hit tunes.

Lynne, 22 Mar 2026
Fab-u-lous Always liked the story (it being based on real events). Show was entertaining but Johannes Radebe was a revelation!!
Sue, 21 Mar 2026
Just sensational! Kinky Boots was just amazing. We came to see it a few years ago and it was very good, but this was next level. All the cast were brilliant but Jo Jo was just out of this world! That man was born to dance & the theatre erupted at the finale. Thoroughly recommend.
Alice, 21 Mar 2026
A Fine Fun Show Matt Cardle was good but Johannes Radabe was born to play his role of gay black drag queen. He can sing! The whole cast performed well and the songs were good, too. The audience went home satisfied.
