Tosh Wanogho-Maud to Step into the Heels of Lola in Kinky Boots Tour

The sparkle of Kinky Boots is getting even brighter as producers ROYO and Curve announce that West End star Tosh Wanogho-Maud will take on the iconic role of Lola for the European leg and select UK dates of the musical’s ongoing tour — including a highly anticipated stop at the Sunderland Empire from 2 to 6 December 2025.

A seasoned performer with an impressive resume, Wanogho-Maud is no stranger to commanding the stage. He began his career as a child in Whistle Down the Wind and The Lion King, and is currently receiving rave reviews in Titanique at the Criterion Theatre. His recent credits span across major West End hits such as Dreamgirls, The Book of Mormon, Ain’t Too Proud, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and The Drifters Girl. Screen fans may also recognize him from appearances in Bridgerton, Roadkill, and Jingle Jangle.

Joining him in the cast are Billy Roberts (Mrs Doubtfire) as Don, Jessica Daley (I Should Be So Lucky) as Nicola, and Keith Alexander (The Herds) as Simon Sr.

They join a stellar returning ensemble including Dan Partridge as Charlie, Courtney Bowman as Lauren, Scott Paige as George, Kathryn Barnes, Liam Doyle, Jonathan Dryden Taylor, and Lucy Williamson, among many others. The production also features several exciting new additions, including Nathan Daly, Annell Odarty, and Craig Watson.

This high-kicking musical features a Tony and Olivier Award-winning score by Cyndi Lauper and a book by Harvey Fierstein, directed by Curve’s Artistic Director Nikolai Foster with choreography by Leah Hill.

Based on the 2005 film and true story, Kinky Boots follows Charlie Price, a struggling shoe factory owner who finds an unlikely partner in drag performer Lola. Together, they learn to embrace individuality, overcome prejudice, and save the business — one fabulous pair of boots at a time.

The Made at Curve production has already dazzled audiences across the UK and Ireland, with a West End transfer to the London Coliseum set for March 2026 starring Johannes Radebe as Lola.
