In an earlier press statement, director/choreographer Jerry Mitchell commented, "Casting the entire London company of Kinky Boots has been an amazing and energizing experience; each character has a true individual significance in this show and that makes it so special. We are delighted to have found our Lola and Charlie in the hugely talented Matt Henry and Killian Donnelly. Both gentlemen will bring effortless charm and sensational voices to the show. I am really looking forward to working with all my wonderful cast on Kinky Boots, which will be my seventh production in the West End."
Book writer Harvey Fierstein added, "The inspiring story of Kinky Boots is about to complete its full circle journey from Northampton to the silver screen to Broadway and now, at last, back home to London. It’s been an absolute thrill to witness the giant heart of our show raise audiences up out of their seats in clamorous joy night after night all across the States. I can’t wait to experience its homecoming with our friends across the pond." Donnelly played Huey Calhoun in the transfer of another Tony-winning hit to the West End, Memphis at the Shaftesbury Theatre. Other theatre credits include The Commitments (Palace Theatre), Billy Elliot (Victoria Palace Theatre), The Phantom of the Opera (Her Majesty’s Theatre) and Les Misérables (Queens Theatre).
Henry recorded an album in 2014 after appearing as a finalist on Series 2 of TV's "The Voice." Theatre credits include Avenue Q (national tour), The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (Northampton) and The Harder They Come (Theatre Royal Stratford East, Nottingham Playhouse and national tour).
