Drag Race stars leading ‘rude, crude’ Christmas panto in London’s West End
A host of Drag Race UK stars are starring in a “rude, crude” production of classic Christmas pantomime Peter Pan throughout the festive season at London’s West End Phoenix Theatre.
Featuring a stunning line-up of Ru Girls including Ginger Johnson, Kitty Scott-Claus, Cheryl and Kate Butch, the “very adult, very hilarious, very demure” show is the fourth-annual panto from producers TuckShop, who are also the brains behind gems Death Drop, Cool Rider, and Gals Aloud.
Expect a gloriously camp shambles, with producers inviting audiences to “fly straight to the Phoenix Theatre to find out just how juvenile a show this is [and] how the hell we’re achieving the flying effects with no budget.”
Peter Pan also stars drag legends Yshee Black, Ophelia Love, Mahatma Khandi and Richard Energy.
“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,” Kate Butch said in a statement. “In that show, I was a selfish narcissist with bad makeup, so it’ll be fun to get to do some acting this year.”
Recent finalist on Canada’s Drag Race vs the World Cheryl added: “I’m so excited to be back working with TuckShop for another fun and ridiculous production. I’m beyond ready to get into the stage and see what ridiculous character comes from inside me”
