TuckShop – the UK’s only specialist production company devoted all things drag – are back in the West End with their raucous pantomime Peter Pan.
Running at The Phoenix Theatre on select dates from Monday 2 December 2024 to Monday 6 January 2025.
Fly straight to the Phoenix Theatre to find out just how juvenile a show this is, how the hell we’re achieving the flying effects with no budget, and just exactly how are we going to deal with the cultural appropriation of “Princess Tiger Lilly” (but we’ll probably will just skim past that…)
Who’s in the cast?
Starring an incredible line-up of Drag talent including Drag Race UK Winner Ginger Johnson as Hook, alongside Tuck Shop 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 returns 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.
Creative team
Rude, crude and not for prudes, this is the very adult, very hilarious, very demure pantomime 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) and directed by Christopher D. Clegg (the brains behind TuckShop), with associate director Frazer Meakin, lighting by Toby P Darvill, sound by Will Thompson (for SoundWorks) and additional choreography and staging by Zach Parkin and Taz Hoesli.
The creative team is completed by company manager Bee Emery, deputy stage manager Daisy Francis-Bryden and general management by Christopher D. Clegg and Jack Maple.
Peter Pan is produced by Tuckshop and Jack Maple with Dee & Edward Parsons and Lee Menzies.
What’s the show about?
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!
Assisted performances
TBC
