It will star Kitty Scott-Claus (Death Drop, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK) as Princess Beauty, LoUis CYfer (Death Drop, Cowbois) as King Clyde of Camden, Yshee Black (Dick Whittington) as Muddles, Kemah Bob (Death Drop) as Prynx Handsome of Hackney, Victoria Scone (Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World, RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, Death Drop: Back in the Habit) as Carabosse, Ophelia Love as Ensemble Member, Michael Marouli (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK) as Fairy Fabulous and Kate Butch (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK) as Queen Camilla of Camden. 

Scone commented: “So thrilled to be rejoining TuckShop theatrical universe once again with such an exciting camp cast on this production of Sleeping Beauty!”

Scott-Claus added: “Super dooper excited to play a role where I get to really show the audience what I do best… sleeping and being beautiful.”

And finally, Marouli said: “Geordie lass landing on the West End! I’m so happy to be joining Tuckshop to make my West End debut with Sleeping Beauty this December! It’s going to be a ball!”

The production marks the company’s third all-drag panto following Cinderella in 2019 and Dick Whittington in 2021.
