The WhatsOnStage Award-winning show Kinky Boots has announced it will release a live West End cast recording.

The album, which was recorded live with the current West End cast at the Adelphi Theatre, will be available to pre-order on 11 March 2016 and to buy from 1 April.

Cyndi Lauper and Harvey Fierstein's show arrived in London in August last year, impressing the critics. The production currently features Matt Henry as drag queen Lola alongside a cast including 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.

The Olivier-nominated production recently extended its run at the Adelphi Theatre and is now booking until 24 September 2016.
