A casting call has revealed that Kinky Boots is opening in the West End this August.
Although the casting call doesn't confirm a theatre, it states that previews will begin in London "on or about" 21st August 2015.
Based on the 2005 film, Kinky Boots had an out-of-town tryout in Chicago in 2012 before opening on Broadway in 2013. Last year the musical launched its first US Tour.
Kinky Boots tells the "uplifting and heartwarming" tale of Charlie Price, a young man reluctantly taking over his family's struggling business. Charlie meets and finds inspiration in Lola and together, the unlikely pair finds that they have more in common than they ever dreamed possible... and discovers that "when you change your mind about someone, you can change your whole world."
The winner of six 2013 Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, Kinky Boots features a Tony® Award-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, book by Harvey Fierstein, and direction and choreography by Jerry Mitchell.
PLEASE NOTE the West End transfer of Kinky Boots has not been officially confirmed by producers. We will let you know when/if anything becomes 100% official.
