TuckShop has announced the return of its acclaimed all-drag pantomime, with Jack and the Beanstalk set to play a six-week season at London’s Emerald Theatre from 2 December 2026 to 10 January 2027.
The production marks the sixth edition of TuckShop’s annual all-drag panto and its longest run to date. A press performance is scheduled for 9 December.
Leading the cast as Jack is RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 7 winner Bones. Joining them are Kitty Scott-Claus as Princess Jill, Rosé and Kyran Thrax sharing the role of 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.
The role of the Giant will be played by a series of guest performers throughout the run, with further casting to be announced.
Speaking about 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.”
TuckShop said: “We’re full of beans and ready to go for the 6th annual, all-drag, West End Panto: JACK AND THE BEANSTALK!
“This all-star cast will have you laughing along in this outrageous, raucous, West End festive favourite. And stay tuned as the role of THE GIANT will be played by a slew of super special guests throughout the run!”
Based on the classic fairytale, Jack and the Beanstalk follows the adventures of Jack and his beloved cow, reimagined with TuckShop’s signature brand of chaotic comedy and adult humour.
Described as “rude, crude and not for prudes (or children!!)”, the production comes from the team behind The Diana Mixtape, Death Drop, Cool Rider and Gals Aloud.
The show is written by Kate Butch, Crudi Dench and Eleanor Mason, and created and directed by Christopher D. Clegg.
