Twelve performers will share the Giant in TuckShop's all-drag Jack and the Beanstalk
TuckShop has announced that 12 performers will take turns playing the Giant in its all-drag pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk, according to WhatsOnStage. The show opens at the Emerald Theatre in London on 2 December 2026.
The Giant will be played in a rotating line-up. Michael Marouli, Blu Hydrangea and Vanity Milan are named alongside Black Peppa, Blu Romantic, Choriza May, HERR, KY Kelly, Mocha, Nyongbella, Tayris Mongardi and Tiana Biscuit. Each performer will appear in the role on a rota, rather than one actor carrying every show.
Bones plays Jack. Bones is a Drag Race UK winner, a title from the television competition for drag performers. Kitty Scott-Claus plays Princess Jill, and Kate Butch plays Jack's Mother. Kate Butch is also one of the three writers, with Crudi Dench and Eleanor Mason.
The rest of the cast includes Yshee Black as Fairy Liquid, Dairy King as The Milkman and Cheryl Hole as Cheryl The Cow. Ophelia Love plays Villager No. 4. Drag king Dairy King performs in the production as well.
The role of Fleshcreep is shared too. Rosé plays it until 23 December, and Kyran Thrax takes over from 27 December. Kyran Thrax is also a Drag Race UK winner.
This is the sixth year of TuckShop's all-drag pantomime, a stage show based on a traditional fairy tale and staged each winter. Christopher D Clegg is the creator and director, and Frazer Meakin is associate director. Taz Hoesli has choreographed the show. TuckShop is producing it, with production management by Production Solutions Group.
The run is from 2 December 2026 to 10 January 2027. A press performance takes place on 9 December. The production is aimed at adults, with age guidance of 18 plus.
