Kinky Boots The Musical Tour was a Broadway and West End phenomenon based on a true story and movie of the same name released in 2005. The 2025 UK and Ireland smash-hit tour sold out performances at most venues and recently announced a West End transfer to the London Coliseum where performances will begin in March 2026. The musical is now touring and will be stopping by The Regent Theatre in Stoke-on-Trent this November.
Kinky Boots The Musical features a score by Cyndi Lauper and a book by Harvey Fierstein. It will be directed by Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster (My Fair Lady, A Chorus Line, Billy Elliot).
After inheriting his family’s failing shoe factory and with a relationship on the rocks, life is proving to be very challenging for Charlie Price. That is until he meets Lola, a drag queen whose sparkle and unsteady heels might just hold the answer to saving the struggling business.
