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
Strictly’s Johannes Radebe is a perfect fit
6 / 10
Radebe isn’t a trained actor, and although he has a rich tone to his voice, singing doesn’t come as naturally to him as dancing. But the stratospheric charisma he has when he’s moving is rare: full beam at the audience, his face animates every moment, and he throws some Latin flair into Leah Hill’s upfront and versatile choreography. In contrast, Radebe delivers a moving rendition of Not My Father’s Son in almost stillness, eyes closed, and it’s a heartfelt moment.
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).
