Synopsis
Fall head over heels, again! The multi-award-winning musical KINKY BOOTS with Strictly Come Dancing’s Johannes Radebe is strutting back to Curve in 2026.
The acclaimed West End and Broadway sensation will play a strictly limited run at Curve before heading on to the spectacular London Coliseum.
Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Musical and based on an uplifting true story and much-loved movie, KINKY BOOTS features Tony and Grammy Award-winning music and lyrics by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, a hilarious book by Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein and is directed by Curve Artistic Director Nikolai Foster (MY FAIR LADY, BILLY ELLIOT, GREASE).
When Charlie Price inherits his family’s failing shoe factory, saving the company – and his love life – feel 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.
