It’s completely unsurprising that a musical like Kinky Boots has lasted its three-year run at the Adelphi Theatre in London. With music and lyrics by the legend that is Cyndi Lauper, the slightly kitsch aesthetic and old-school sound partner beautifully together into an unexpected story of self-affirmation created from a book by Harvey Fierstein.
Fresh from his run of Australian fringe festivals, ‘glamouriffic’ cabaret performer, Reuben Kaye, steps onto the stage at Soho Theatre in nothing less than an eruption of glitter and false lashes. An energetic and striking ex-musical theatre singer from down under, he now produces his own shows with the intention of crafting a new narrative for us queer folk.
