With songs by Grammy® and Tony® winning pop icon Cyndi Lauper, Kinky Boots takes you from the factory floor to the glamorous catwalks of Milan.
Charlie Price is struggling to live up to his father’s expectations and continue the family business of Price & Son. With the shoe factory’s future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola - a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos.
West End star Kayi Ushe will be putting on the boots to play Lola. He will be joined by Paula Lane as Lauren, best known for her role as Kylie Platt in Coronation Street, and Joel Harper-Jackson, who recently starred in the The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time UK tour, will be playing Charlie Price.
Inspired by true events, this joyous story of Brit grit to high-heeled hit is the ‘Freshest, most fabulous, feel-good musical of the decade’ – The Hollywood News. It’s the ultimate fun night out for you and your loved ones, so book now and experience the energy, joy and laughter of this dazzling show.

Coach Parking
Coach pick up/ set down facilities during matinee performances
Bristol City Council and The Bristol Hippodrome have recognised the need for temporary coach drop off and pick up facilities during matinee performances at The Bristol Hippodrome. The pick up element of these performances coincides with evening rush hour and can cause problems with coaches blocking traffic lanes and causing severe congestion around the central area. A leaflet is available which provides details of temporary areas that coaches can drop off and pick up without affecting the flow of traffic around the centre and should be read in conjunction with Bristol’s long stay coach parking facilities leaflet available at www.travelbristol.org/coach-parking
Please take note of the waiting limits at these temporary sites, as they will be patrolled by Civil Enforcement Officers to ensure they are used as intended.
By Air
Bristol Airport is a short journey from the Bristol Hippodrome.
By Ferry
Bristol Ferry Boat Company have ferry services that alight on the waterfront around 1 minute walk away. Please contact them on enquiries@bristolferryboat.co.uk.
