Have you seen Kinky Boots yet?

Inspired by a true story and based on the Miramax motion picture written by Geoff Deane and Tim Firth, Kinky Boots features a warm and witty book by four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein (La Cage, Torch Song Trilogy, Newsies) and a richly diverse musical score from Grammy Award-winning rock icon Cyndi Lauper, in her stunning theatrical debut. The production is directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell (Hairspray, La Cage, Broadway Bares), with music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by Stephen Oremus (Book of Mormon, Wicked).

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Kinky Boots

Rebooted and rambunctious
6 / 10

What he is though is a star, every inch of him (and he is the tallest person on stage by far); every aspect of Nikolai Foster’s efficient staging seems built around him, especially Leah Hill’s choreography. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the extended dance breaks are where this Kinky Boots lifts off the ground. When Radebe gets to cut loose, an electric charge crackles through the house. Radebe commands the stage, and the audience rightly adores him. Is it a a fully rounded performance? No. Will the people buying tickets specifically to see him care? Also no. That’s the magic of star quality.

Everybody say yeah to the return of this rousing, heart-warming musical
6 / 10

In the central roles, Cardle proves predictably strong vocally even if his acting tends towards the melodramatic (notably when Charlie suddenly discovers his inner bigot), and though Radebe can’t quite match him in the singing department he more than compensates with those aforementioned moves and a performance full of integrity and heart. There’s also some strong support including Courtney Bowman as Charlie’s not-so secret admirer Lauren, Scott Paige as lovable factory foreman George, and Billy Roberts as the alpha-with-a-conscience Don (originated in the West End by the much-missed Jamie Baughan).

Review: KINKY BOOTS, Starring Johannes Radebe & Matt Cardle
by Aliya Al-Hassan - April 1, 2026


Last seen in the West End in 2019, Cyndi Lauper and Matt Fierstein's uplifting musical Kinky Boots finally struts its way back to London after a national tour. Originating at the Curve Leicester and directed by its artistic director Nikolai Foster, it brings starry sparkle to the stage with the casting of Strictly's Johannes Radebe, but fails to capture the energy and vigour of its previous iteration.
