The full cast for Kinky Boots’ West End revival at the London Coliseum has been announced, with Johannes Radebe reprising his role as Lola and Matt Cardle playing Charlie Price. The production, featuring a book by Harvey Fierstein and a score by Cyndi Lauper, is directed by Nikolai Foster.

Kinky Boots will return to the London Coliseum from 17 March to 11 July 2026, following a week of previews at Curve, Leicester from 3 March. The musical tells the story of Charlie Price, who inherits a failing shoe factory and partners with drag performer Lola to save it.

Johannes Radebe reprises the role of Lola, with Matt Cardle cast as Charlie Price. Alternate Lola Tosh Wanogho-Maud will perform every Monday from 6 April 2026. Audience members are advised to consult the production’s website for details on schedule changes.

The cast also features Courtney Bowman as Lauren, Billie-Kay as Nicola, Billy Roberts as Don, Rachel Izen as Pat, and Jessica Daley as Trish. Jonathan Dryden Taylor will play Mr Price, Scott Paige is George, and Liam Doyle takes on Harry.

Supporting adult cast members include Andy Barke, Kathryn Barnes, Cerys Burton, Kaya Farrugia, Nay–Nay, Keith Alexander, Nathan Daly, Kofi Dennis, Ru Fisher, Darnell Matthew-James, Liam McEvoy, Ashley-Jordon Packer, Cole Dunn, Annell Odartey, Jordan Isaac, and Tori McDougall.

The young company casts Sean Garcia Madiba, Noah Ronkainen Phillips, and Rio-Blake Power as Young Lola, with Archie John Allen, Joshua Beswick, Louis Cohen, and Callum George playing Young Charlie. This echoes the show’s ongoing emphasis on dynamic, multi-generational casting.

The production is helmed by Nikolai Foster, the artistic director of Curve, who previously directed the musical’s initial tour launching in Leicester. Kinky Boots’ return to London marks a continuation of its journey from regional theatre to the West End.
