Strictly Come Dancing star Johannes Radebe is to star in a new UK tour of musical Kinky Boots next year.
Nothern dates so far announced are Manchester Palace (February 4-8); Newcastle Theatre Royal (May 6-10); Leeds Grand (May 20-24) and Liverpool Empire (July 8-12).
With a score by Cyndi Lauper and book by Harvey Fierstein, the show has been a Broadway and West End hit, based on a true story and the movie of the same name.
After inheriting his family's failing shoe factory and with a relationship on the rocks, life is proving difficult for Charlie Price – until he meets Lola, a drag queen whose sparkle and unsteady heels might just hold the answer to saving the struggling business.
South African born Johannes toured the world in the international dance show Burn The Floor before being head-hunted for Strictly Come Dancing. In 2021 he and his celebrity partner John Waite were the first all-male partnership on the show. His debut solo UK tour Freedom and follow up show Freedom Unleashed sold out across the UK, and he is currently on tour with this third show: House of Jojo.
