Casting has been revealed for TuckShop’s next edition of their all-drag pantomime.

This year the company will stage Jack and the Beanstalk at the Emerald Theatre from 2 December 2026 to 10 January 2027, with a press performance on 9 December.

Set to star are a host of Drag Race contestants and winners, including Bones as Jack, Kitty Scott-Claus as Princess Jill, Rosé and Kyran Thrax as Fleshcreep, Kate Butch as Jack’s Mother, Yshee Black as Fairy Liquid, Dairy King as The Milkman, Cheryl Hole as Cheryl The Cow and Ophelia Love as Villager no.4.

Rosé will play Fleshcreep until 23 December with Kyran Thrax taking over from 27 December.

The role of the Giant will rotate between a lineup of different performers across the six weeks, to be announced at a later date.

On joining the production, Bones said: “I’m so excited to be part of the panto this year! I’ve been a huge fan of the TuckShop productions, but I’m so glad they have finally realised how to make it even better by having me in it! Jokes aside, it’s become tradition for the Drag Race UK winner to take the lead in the productions, and I’m ready to stretch my theatre legs and live up to my predecessors. Now more than ever, it’s important for producers like TuckShop to uplift queer talent and bring the community together, especially around Christmas time.”

The adult panto is written by Butch, Crudi Dench, and Eleanor Mason, directed and created by Christopher D. Clegg and produced by TuckShop.
