Kinky Boots The Musical, filmed live at the Adelphi Theatre in the heart of London’s West End, is strutting onto the big screen!

Inspired by true events, this huge-hearted hit tells the story of two people with nothing in common – or so they think. Charlie (Killian Donnelly) is a factory owner struggling to save his family business, and Lola (Matt Henry) is a fabulous entertainer with a wildly exciting idea. With a little compassion and a lot of understanding, this unexpected pair learn to embrace their differences and create a line of sturdy stilettos unlike any the world has ever seen! But in the end, their most sensational achievement is their friendship. This unmissable musical theatre event celebrates a joyous story of British grit transforming into a high-heeled hit as it takes you from the factory floor of Northampton to the glamorous catwalks of Milan!

London shop assistant Kate has made a life of bad decisions culminating in a serious illness which brought her close to death last year. The bad choices continue to follow her as she takes a job as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop, but when she bumps into Tom, a customer who sees through her shortcomings, it all seems too good to be true. As London transforms into the most wonderful time of the year, nothing should work for these two. But sometimes, you’ve got to listen to your heart. Loosely based on the much-loved music of George Michael, this bittersweet rom-com cant fail to get you into the Christmas spirit.
