A global sensation with six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and three Olivier Awards, making it one of the most celebrated shows of the last decade.
Boasts a Tony and Grammy-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, packed with show-stopping numbers, and a sharp, heartfelt book by Harvey Fierstein.
Features Johannes Radebe (Strictly Come Dancing) bringing his charisma and energy to the iconic role of Lola in a dazzling new production.
Inspired by a true story, this feel-good musical mixes laughter, powerful performances, and a bold celebration of individuality—all in a strictly limited London run.
When Charlie’s family shoe business hits rock bottom, help arrives in the most unexpected form—a larger-than-life drag queen named Lola. Her bold idea? Stilettos strong enough for a man, stylish enough for a queen. Can this unlikely partnership turn the factory around, or will it all come crashing down in heels?
