The critically acclaimed production of Kinky Boots has extended its run at the Adelphi Theatre for a second time, now booking until 24 September 2016.

Cyndi Lauper and Harvey Fierstein's show arrived in London in August last year and impressed the critics, with WhatsOnStage's Michael Coveney calling it a "glorious feel-good musical".

The production features Matt Henry as drag queen Lola alongside a cast include Killian Donnelly and Amy Lennox.

The show is an adaptation of the British film of the same name which follows a Northampton shoemaker who re-invents his business by creating shoes for drag queens.

Kinky Boots won the London Evening Standard BBC Radio 2 Audience Award for Best Musical and has been nominated for nine WhatsOnStage Awards this year. If you would like to cast your vote for the show, click here.

Tickets for the extended period will go on sale from 1 February 2016.
