The story follows Charlie who inherits his family’s shoe manufacturing company.

Radebe said: \u201cI left my township in Zamdela at the age of 21 to dance in the ensemble on a cruise ship. Every night we did ABBA. That was my dream come true. Never then, nor since then. Was it in my wildest dreams that I would have the opportunity to star in a musical in London\u2019s West End. And not just any musical \u2013 my favourite musical. Kinky Boots<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy involvement in Kinky Boots<\/a><\/em> has been six years in the making. And Lola was the only role I ever wanted to play. Harvey Fierstein and Cyndi Lauper have written a show about accepting people for who they are. And the love our production has received across the UK has been overwhelming, beautiful and life changing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
