Special guest stars confirmed for King’s Head pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk

The King’s Head Theatre and James Quaife Productions have announced the lineup of guest stars set to appear in the Adults Only performances of Jack and the Beanstalk.

Running on selected evenings from 27 November 2025 to 3 January 2026, the adults-only version of the panto will feature special guest appearances across its run. Each performer will take on the role of the Magic Harp, performing a featured number before joining the cast for the finale. The press night for the adult version will take place on 28 November.

Guest stars from the world of musical theatre include Cassidy Janson on 4 December, Francis Haugen (Legally Blonde) on 6 December, Steven Webb on 11 December, and Adèle Anderson on 13 December. They will be joined by Georgina Onuorah on 23 December and Danielle Steers on 27 December.

The show will also feature a number of drag performers. RuPaul’s Drag Race UK stars appearing include Veronica Green (27 November), Kate Butch (28 November), Le Fil (30 December), River Medway (3 January) and Ella Vaday (18 December). Viola (Queen of the Universe) joins on 29 November, and drag king Don One performs on 20 December. Ella Vaday returns to the King’s Head following her appearance in last year’s Cinderella. As previously announced, the main cast for Jack and the Beanstalk is led by fellow Drag Race star Victoria Scone as Dame Trott.

The production is written and directed by Andrew Pollard, with music by Ben Barrow and choreography by Emily Golding-Ellis. The creative team also includes lighting designer Alex Lewer, sound designer Matthew Giles, musical director Jordan Paul Clarke, costume designer Eve Oakley, set designer Jake Evans, resident director and stage manager Katie Jackson, assistant stage manager Abigail Darrell, production manager Carrie Croft, and general manager James Quaife.

The King’s Head Theatre will continue its Golden Goose Pay-it-Forward scheme, offering free or reduced tickets to families and schools through community donations. Pay What You Can tickets are available for the 26 November preview, with family and early-booking discounts also on offer.
