REVIEW: KINKY BOOTS (Adelphi Theatre) ★★★★
Kinky Boots is celebrating its third birthday at London’s Adelphi, and what a celebration – resplendent with enough high-kicks, slut-drops and stilettos for everyone. This is the musical I was always vaguely in the business of getting around to seeing, but never quite prioritising. Yes, it looked brashly fun and glittery, but like a high-camp […]

Born of the same creators, Sh!t-Faced Showtime has reached the stage, this time with a spin […]
