Dancer Johannes, who will appear in evening shows as Lola, will be joined by rising star Dan Partridge as Charlie Price.
The Broadway and West End phenomenon is based on a true story and movie of the same name released in 2005.
After inheriting his family's failing shoe factory and with a relationship on the rocks, life is proving to be very challenging for Charlie Price.
That is until he meets Lola, a drag queen whose sparkle and unsteady heels might just hold the answer to saving the struggling business.
Tickets go on general sale from April 19 at mayflower.org.uk or 023 8071 1811.
