A DAZZLING sassy global phenomenon is set to strut home to Britain for six fabulous nights in February at Venue Cymru.

With songs by Grammy and Tony winning pop icon Cyndi Lauper, worldwide smash Kinky Boots will celebrate the voyage from Brit grit to high-heeled hit in Llandudno from Monday, February 11.

Winner of every major Best Musical award, including the 2016 Olivier Award for Best New Musical, the show is loosely inspired by the story of an old family firm of Northampton shoe manufacturers that was about to go under only to discover a new niche in the market - ladies’ footwear worn by men who like to dress up.

Inspiring the charming independent British movie of the same name starring Chiwetel Ejiofor as Lola, a fictional cross-dressing diva demanding sturdy stilettos, the story opened on the stage in Chicago in 2012, before moving to Broadway the following year, and on to the West End in 2015.

Adapted for the stage with music and lyrics by the Girl's Just Want to have fun 80's icon Lauper, Kinky Boots the Musical proudly adds a string of catchy numbers to the unlikely friendship between Lola and straight-laced factory owner Charlie including wig-out, dance anthems and heart-stopping ballads such as The Most Beautiful Thing in The World, The Sex Is in the Heel and Not My Father’s Son.

Writing for the theatre for the first time, Lauper said: "It’s a story about a really great friendship and two very, very opposite people and there’s a great redemption in the end. I’m a sucker for redemption.”

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.

Don't miss the sheer energy and joy of this unapologetically earnest sensation at Venue Cymru from Monday, February 11 until Saturday 16.

Tickets start at £20. To book and for show times visit venuecymru.co.uk or by calling the box office on 01492 872000.
