TuckShop, the United Kingdom’s only production company dedicated exclusively to drag performance, has announced the full cast for its sixth edition of "Jack and the Beanstalk." The all-drag pantomime is scheduled to run at London’s Emerald Theatre from Wednesday, December 2, 2026, through Sunday, January 10, 2027.

The production marks TuckShop’s longest season to date, spanning six weeks with a press performance set for Wednesday, December 9. The company describes the show as "rude, crude and not for prudes," positioning it as an adult-oriented theatrical experience distinct from traditional family pantomimes.

Central to the announcement is the casting of twelve prominent performers who will share the role of The Giant throughout the run. The rotating lineup includes Black Peppa, a finalist on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Series 4; Blu Hydrangea, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs. the World; and Choriza May, known for her appearances in RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Series 3 and the tour "Snow White & the Seven Drag Queens."

Other performers joining the Giant rotation include Blu Romantic, currently a contestant on The Great British Bake Off; HERR from Shrektacular at Clapham Grand; KY Kelly, a finalist on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Series 8; Michael Marouli, recent winner of Drag Race Down Under vs. the World; Mocha, also from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Series 8; Nyongbella from Series 7; Tayris Mongardi, who previously starred in Snow White at the Emerald Theatre; Tiana Biscuit; and Vanity Milan, a finalist on both RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Series 3 and Canada’s Drag Race.

The fixed cast for the six-week run includes Bones, winner of Drag Race UK Season 7, as Jack. Kitty Scott-Claus, runner-up in Drag Race UK Season 3 and Global All Stars, plays Princess Jill. The role of Fleshcreep is split between Rosé, known for her appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race US Season 13 and America’s Got Talent, and Kyran Thrax, winner of Drag Race UK Season 6. Rosé will perform the role until December 23, with Thrax taking over from December 27.

Supporting roles are filled by Kate Butch as Jack’s Mother, Yshee Black as Fairy Liquid, Drag King Dairy King as The Milkman, Cheryl Hole as Cheryl the Cow, and Ophelia Love as Villager No. 4.

The production is written by Kate Butch, Crudi Dench, and Eleanor Mason, with choreography by Taz Hoesli and direction by Christopher D. Clegg. Production management is handled by the Production Solutions Group, with Frazer Meakin serving as associate director.

"Jack and the Beanstalk" retells the classic tale of a boy who trades his cow for magic beans, but TuckShop brings its signature chaotic storytelling style to the narrative. The Emerald Theatre, located at 8 Victoria Embankment in London, will host the strictly limited season.
