The Guardian
"Pure joy from start to finish. Johannes Radebe is a revelation - every inch the star the West End deserves."
Everybody say yeah! Cyndi Lauper and Harvey Fierstein’s joyous, Olivier and Tony Award-winning musical Kinky Boots struts home to London for a strictly limited season at the magnificent London Coliseum - led by Strictly Come Dancing favourite Johannes Radebe as Lola and multi-platinum recording artist Matt Cardle as Charlie Price.
When Charlie Price reluctantly inherits his father’s failing Northampton shoe factory, a chance encounter with the fabulous, fearless drag queen Lola hands him an unlikely lifeline: a niche in sturdy, sky-high heels built to take a man’s weight. As the two form an unexpected partnership, they discover that they have more in common than they ever imagined - and that you change the world when you change your mind.
Bursting with Cyndi Lauper’s irresistible, foot-stomping score - including “Land of Lola,” “Sex Is in the Heel” and the euphoric “Raise You Up” - and directed by Nikolai Foster, Kinky Boots is a glittering, big-hearted celebration of friendship, family and being exactly who you are.
