Customer Reviews
Excellent! Funny!
The show was recommended by a friend and we were not disappointed...it was superb and very uplifting. Well done to the whole team associated with Kinky Boots... thoroughly deserving of the standing ovation they received!
A fantastic show - well worth the money and visit to London.
One of the best performance!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just want to say that kinky boots is now one of my favourite productions and I wouldn’t mind seeing it again and again. It was a great night out with the girls and I would seriously recommend it to anyone. The actors and actresses were brilliant. The music was on point. And the men dancing in heels I just have to say one thing please teach me.
We loved it. The choreography was stunning. A really dynamic performance. We came out buzzing.
A wonderful musical with colour and humour. Great singing talent, especially the young Chris and Simon. Drag Queens dance superbly.
great moral story, good story and its very uplifting, about the idea of accepting peoples differences. great costumes, brilliant story and catchy songs, and obviously boots are fab.
Although everyone I know who had seen this show, raved about it, I really had no idea what it was about - only that it had something to do with drag queens. My daughter and I both loved the show. Not only did it have an interesting story line and a strong life message but the performances by cast members, on the whole, were strong and the music, choreography and costumes were all sensational. A truly energetic and entertaining performance.
What an amazing show! Great story and what fabulous dancers. All the cast sang and acted brilliantly. Full of comedy, sadness and drama. Would definitely watch again.
Absolutely loved everything about this show. I didn't want it to end! Amazing!
Went to the matinee performance of Kinky Boots with my 18 year old daughter yesterday ....... great show ! Surpassed all expectations. ....... incredibly talented performers, amazing story, set and costumes. Music had us jigging in our seats. Right outside Charing Cross train station, it couldn't be easier to get to. Would definitely recommend this show !!
Very moving story line, fantastic, lyrical, stomping and lively music. Singing and acting very professional, extremely enjoyable show, one of the best I've seen recently !
My wife saw it with her sister and said "You must see it". Very good, cast and songs were excellent and lots of comedy. Even though saw matinee, their energy was still there.

Took my daughters to see this at the request of my 14 year old. She said it was the best thing she has ever seen. Brilliant feel good show, would see it again
It was absolutely outstanding! The dancing was amazing as well as the singing. The lyrics were witty and clever and the orchestra was innovative. The whole performance was very energetic and the two main characters absolutely stole the show. The story telling was engaging and always kept you on the edge of your seat. Definitely will be returning!!
Five of us went to see Kinky Boots (ages 21 - 74) we all had an absolute blast! The show was so full of energy and so much fun and the performers were fantastic.
Amazing show ...loved it!
An excellent show from start to finish a must see.
A brilliant fun show from start to finish. How do men have legs like that and dance in those heels. Girlfriend seriously jealous!!

Red is the colour of sex and danger and things that say, do!! I loved this musical. First time seeing it and I didn't know what the plot was and I loved every minute.

Absolutely brilliant night out. Would actually go again.
Having seen film was well aware of story ,songs are not memorable but cast is and terrific energy throughout makes it a resounding hit ,was a birthday treat for me ,and of course would recommend it
We took our 13 year old to see this and were a bit worried it might be too rude. There was a bit of innuendo but pretty much okay for a savvy young teenager. The show was great from start to finish. The music is fantastic and it was really funny. A real feel good show.
An excellent show and the dancers were amazing! I couldnt walk in those boots let alone dance in them!
Amazing show. I saw 10 times but a bit Disa pointed about the main artist the black guy! This performance is not for him ! Too very macho !!!! But he is very talented but not for this role !
