Pop icon Cyndi Lauper teamed up with author and actor Harvey Fierstein (who you may recognise from Mrs. Doubtfire) to bring the story of Kinky Boots to the West End stage.

Lauper was on songwriting duty, and Fierstein wrote the book of musical, and we had the immense pleasure of sitting down with the charismatic pair to discuss their latest venture. Also, as Lauper was behind the soundtrack to The Goonies (a film we’re rather fond of over to say the least), we asked her about her experiences and memories from that time – which leads on to a hilarious anecdote about an encounter she once had with a certain Steven Spielberg…

Kinky Boots is showing at the Adelphi Theatre in London. More information and tickets, can be found at the production’s official website, here.
