Full casting has been announced for TuckShop’s all drag panto production of Peter Pan, playing at the West End’s Phoenix Theatre in London.
The panto plays on selected dates from 2 December 2024 to 6 January 2025.
Peter Pan will star Drag Race UK Winner Ginger Johnson as Hook, alongside TuckShop alums and Drag Race legends Kitty Scott-Claus, Cheryl Hole and Kate Butch as the Darling children, TikTok and viral sensation Bailey J Mills as Tinkerbell, Yshee Black as Smee, Ophelia Love as Villager No.4, Mahatma Khandi as the mermaid and Drag King sensation Richard Energy in the title role as Peter.
Joining them are ensemble members Cameron Everitt, Zach Parkin and Theo Simpson.
A co-production with Jack Maple Productions, this is Tuckshop’s fourth all drag pantomime, and follows Cinderella, Dick Whittington and last year’s Sleeping Beauty.
Forget everything you thought you knew about Neverland with this childishly unabashed two-fingered, all-drag, salute to the classic tale of the boy that wouldn’t grow up. Same, tbh.
Join Peter as he humps his ‘orrible little way around Neverland with Wendy, John and Michael in a constant battle with the villainous moral crusader, Captain Hook!
From the creator of Death Drop, Cool Rider and Gals Aloud, and written by Gareth Joyner (A Christmas Carole, Dick Whittington, the creator of Myra Dubois), Peter Pan is directed by Christopher D. Clegg.
The associate director is Frazer Meakin, with lighting by Toby P Darvill, sound by Will Thompson for SoundWorks, and additional choreography and staging by Zach Parkin and Taz Hoesli. The company manager is Bee Emery, deputy stage manager Daisy Francis-Bryden and general management is by Christopher D. Clegg and Jack Maple.
Peter Pan is produced by Tuckshop and Jack Maple with Dee & Edward Parsons and Lee Menzies.
Cheryl Hole, recent finalist on Canada’s Drag Race vs the world, said in a statement: “I’m so excited to be back working with Tuckshop for another fun and ridiculous production. I had the honour of being part of 2021’s Dick Whittington and taking the lead. The collaboration between artist and production is such a fun, electric process that we always produce the best results. I’m beyond ready to get into the stage and see what ridiculous character comes from inside me”.
Kate Butch said: “I’m so excited to be back on the West End and back with TuckShop, after having a fabulous time in Sleeping Beauty last year. In that show, I was a selfish narcissist with bad makeup, so it’ll be fun to get to do some acting this year.”
Kitty Scott-Claus, currently starring in Rupaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars, said: “I’m so excited to be returning to the West End with Tuckshop this Panto season! 3rd times a charm!”
Peter Pan is playing selected dates at the Phoenix Theatre from 2 December 2024 to 6 January 2025.
