Broadway Hit Kinky Boots Opens in London Tonight | Playbill

News Broadway Hit Kinky Boots Opens in London Tonight Killian Donnelly and Matt Henry lead the company for the West End premiere of Broadway's Tony Award-winning Kinky Boots, opening officially Sept. 15 at the Adelphi Theatre (following previews that began Aug. 21). They play Charlie and Lola respectively.



Also in featured roles are Amy Lennox (Lauren), Jamie Baughan (Don), Amy Ross (Nicola) and Michael Hobbs (George).


In the show, Charlie Price (Donnelly) is struggling to live up to his father’s expectations and continue the family business of Price & Son. With the factory's future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola (Henry), a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos.
