London Theatre: Kinky Boots
Description
Be swept off your feet by the dazzling Kinky Boots musical show at London’s Adelphi Theatre. Based on a true story, this high-kicking musical follows the fortunes of Brit shoe factory owner Charlie Price, and his rise to the fashion catwalks of Milan with the help of sassy cabaret singer Lola, who comes to him for a pair of slinky, kinky stiletto boots. Featuring songs by Grammy- and Tony-winning songstress Cyndi Lauper, this high-spirited, feel-good hit of a show is a must-see while in London.

The multi-award-winning musical Kinky Boots is strutting its way to London in a joyous, brand-new production starring Strictly Come Dancing's Johannes Radebe. The acclaimed West End and Broadway sensation runs at the spectacular London Coliseum from March 2026 for a strictly limited season only. 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…

It was the most beautiful musical I have ever seen and I have seen a lot. Two hours passed like two minutes. I highly recommend it.
The show was amazing loved every minute of it. Highly would recommend to everyone
Absolutely fantastic!!! Jojo, Matt and the team were brilliant. This is the second musical I have seen and I found it so, so good from start to finish. Slightly disappointed that the programme said there were signed copies of Jojo’s book in the foyer but they didn’t actually have any and we were the first show of the day. Ended up buying the book off Amazon but unsigned.
Absolutely loved this show, seen at the London Coliseum in the West End. The outstanding performers were Matt Cardle and Courtney Bowman - absolutely brilliant performances - singing, acting, dancing and comedy. Unfortunately we missed a large proportion of the words and singing due to the awful acoustics - it just wasn't clear at all.
What an amazing show. Remember the story from the film a few years ago but seeing it brought to the stage was great. Jo Jo and Matt were fantastic as were the supporting cast. Special mention to “my girls” you were great Loved every minute and worth watching
What amazing show so good lots of music and dancing great show to see is worth going to watch had a brilliant night
Was an amazing show, we great songs and lots of dancing and musical numbers. If you get to see it with JoJo from strictly I would recommend. His got an amazing singing voice and Matt cardle voice is as good as it was back in the day on X factor maybe even better. Lots of laughs and sparkle. Great day out. Try not to go shopping or have any extra bags with you the London coliseum is an old theatre. Beautiful but seat space is restrictive. Sitting Balcony front row 21
Currently at the London Coliseum is the production of Kinky Boots. The production is led by X Factors Matt Cardle and Strictly Come Dancing’s Johannes Radebe. The story concerns a struggling shoe production company and how it changed to survive with all learning something along the way. The show is amazing and offers incredible songs and dances. Johannes surprises all with his singing skills (including a heartfelt solo ballad) in addition to providing some great comic relief. Matt Cardle is a great co-star providing singing talent along with grounded realism. The show is a fun and fantastic one to watch with some great messages to all concerned. In terms of the venue, food, drinks and merch are offered at all levels with assistance provided by helpful staff. For a fantastic time, watch kinky boots.
Absolutely fabulous a definite must the whole production was amazing
