First look production images have been released for the brand new revival of Kinky Boots, opening at the London Coliseum on 17 March 2026 and running for 17 weeks.
The images showcase the bold new staging of Harvey Fierstein and Cyndi Lauper’s award‑winning musical, directed by Nikolai Foster with choreography by Leah Hill. The production marks a major return to the West End for the hit show, which blends drag, high‑heeled glamour and heartfelt storytelling.
The revival stars Johannes Radebe as Lola and Matt Cardle as Charlie Price, with Tosh Wanogho‑Maud appearing as Alternate Lola. The newly released images offer an early look at the show’s vibrant aesthetic, including Robert Jones’s set design, Robert Jones and Tom Rogers’s costume designs, Ben Cracknell’s lighting and Adam Fisher’s sound.
Kinky Boots tells the story of Charlie Price, who inherits his family’s struggling shoe factory and finds an unexpected business partner in Lola, a dazzling drag performer with a vision for how to save it. The production celebrates individuality, teamwork and standing tall in every sense.
This new London run will also include a Gala Night on 29 March in support of WaterAid.
