London theatre dance party experience Oscar at the Crown is getting a new star.
RuPaul’s Drag Race star Jan Sport will make her UK musical debut in the show, which is playing at a new underground venue The Crown on Tottenham Court Road.
Oscar at the Crown is also extending its run in London, and now playing to 30 October 2025.
Jan Sport (The Voice, America’s Got Talent, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars) will star as Oscar Wilde in the show, performing from 12 September 2025
Jan Sport will take over from the show’s writer and current star Mark Mauriello.
Jan Sport said in a statement: “This has been a LONG time coming! I have been part of the Oscar at the Crown family since its conception in Boston in 2015, so when I got the call to come to London I couldn’t have said yes fast enough.
“To be able to return to this amazing show that my brilliant friends have created a decade later in my favorite city in the world feels like the best way to make my U.K. theatre debut. OSCAR is the most fun you can legally have in a theatre, and the cast I’m joining are off the charts talented. The venue that has been created specifically for the show in the middle of London sets the tone for an incredible piece of theatre and an unforgettable night out – so see you all at the bar for a drink, and see you at the show for a PARTY. LONDON!”
Oscar at the Crown is a theatrical dance party experience, which takes place in a secret bunker in an Orwellian future where the only things to survive are reality TV, glitter balls, and the complete works of Oscar Wilde.
Part musical, part dance party – was originally created by New York-based queer theatre collective The Neon Coven, and won a devoted following during its initial run in Brooklyn, and later at the Edinburgh Fringe.
The show also stars Elizabeth Chalmers, reprising her Edinburgh performance as Wilde’s wife, Constance Lloyd.
The complete company includes Kelis Alleyne (Roles of a Lifetime) as Erika; Elizabeth Chalmers (SuperYou) as Constance; Ella Daini (Clueless) as Exile; Estelle Denison-French (FAME) as Swing; Luke Farrugia (Frank’s Closet) as Sonja; Zak Marx (Sleeping With Beauty) as Bosie; Ran Marner (Why Am I So Single?) as Exile, Dance Captain & Swing; Elinor Morris (The Sound Of Music) as Ramona; Isidro Ridout (Priscilla The Party) as Exile; Zofia Weretka (Oscar at The Crown) as Vicki; Natalie Yin (Heartstopper) as Exile.
