Award-winninng Kinky Boots Theatre Breaks
“A truly lovely musical” Group Travel Organisers Association
With a book by four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, music and lyrics by pop icon Cyndi Lauper, the three gong Olivier Award winning Kinky Boots Theatre Breaks tells the story of Charlie Price who has reluctantly inherited his father’s Northampton shoe factory. Trying to live up to his father’s legacy and save the family business from bankruptcy, Charlie finds inspiration in the form of Lola.
A fabulous entertainer in need of some sturdy stilettos, Lola turns out to be the one person who can help Charlie become the man he’s meant to be. As they work to turn the factory around, this unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible… and discovers that when you change your mind, you can change the world.
Before the show’s opening in 2015, director and choreographer, Jerry Mitchell said: “I am delighted to see this big-spirited musical arrive in London. Kinky Boots is very close to my heart, and I am really looking forward to staging it here with a British cast.”

Kinky Boots was such fun. It was my boyfriend's first West End show and now he's hooked!
Kinky Boots was fantastic, full of energy, pathos and laughter. Very talented cast - couldn't fault it!
Celebrating my nieces 50th birthday, the whole package worked extremely well. The theatre tickets were first class - only slight gripe with the hotel, bar closed at 11pm which was a little disappointing on a Friday evening however, we didn't have far to walk to get a drink!
Been to see many musicals and this one is now my favourite - a real feel good story.
I left the theatre with a smile on my face.
Kinky boots is a very good show . We loved it and over all we had an very good weekend in London. Execpt for no Gatwick express on the Sunday we came home. But that's out of your control.????.
We will be using your services again for the next time we fly to London to see another show.
