Just re-watched Kinky Boots - the film I watched on a wet afternoon in Leicester Square many years ago. Beautiful film. a bit northern (Northampton), victory for the underdog, a love story, heartwarming, uplifting, happy ending, lots of shoes and a transvestite; what’s not to love.
Now being transferred to the West End as a musical, opening in August, and my bet to be the hit for 2015, but hey what do I know - I voted Labour locally and bet David Cameron would be back in Downing St.
Might be able to get reduced price tickets if I buy them now, let me know if you are interested.

There is nothing quite like a good West End Show to give you a lift, a buzz or a high, that can last for days and even weeks. And now there is a lot to choose from.
Each month we have at least 1 or 2 day trips to London for the West End Shows.
Usually they are on Saturdays, but we do some midweek trips, particularly during holiday times, and where we can, we will save you money - some shows offer discounted seats for some performances.
You choose the show, the price you want to pay.....we will get the tickets (or you can get your own, if you so wish). And then we'll transport you there with time for shopping, a sightseeing tour and time for a meal afterwards. We also have restaurants which we can recommend to you, and where we can book you tables.
Going to the shows is not compulsory - if you just want to go to London for the day book your seats on the coach....no problem.
Currently the cost for the daytrips is Adults £32.50pp, SC/U16 £30.50pp plus the cost of any tickets required.

TV RECORDINGS
We also go to London to see Television Recordings and Live Transmissions at the BBC and ITV.
