"RuPaul's Drag Race UK season six winner Kyran Thrax is set to lead an all-drag panto in London's West End, playing the Wicked Queen in Snow White. Kyran, who won Drag Race UK in 2024, will feature alongside her fellow Drag Race UK stars Kitty Scott-Claus, Kate Butch and Tayris Mongardi in the "rude, crude" and "very adult" panto, which will run at the Emerald Theatre in London. Snow White will run through the Christmas season, from Monday 15 December to Sunday 4 January."
"Kitty Scott-Claus, who reached the final on both Drag Race UK season three and spin-off Global All Stars, will play the Fairy, while Kate Butch, who came fifth on the fifth season of Drag Race UK in 2023, will star as the HuntsThem. Kate is also the show's co-writer alongside fellow drag star and comedian Crudi Dench. Tayris Mongardi, who is currently competing on Drag Race UK season seven, will play the OG Disney princess herself, Snow White."
"The show will also feature a flurry of other beloved British drag stars including Oliver Clothezoff, the drag alter ego of service designer Jessika Trassel, who made history last month as the first ever drag king to compete on The Great British Bake Off. The drag king will play, fittingly, the Drag King Prince. Yshee Black, Tiana Biscuit, Sophia Stardust and Ophelia Love will also star in the "very hilarious, very demure" panto."
"Snow White is being dubbed as the "only all-drag pantomime live on the West End" and is produced by drag production company Tuck Shop. The company is behind other major drag shows in the UK including The Diana Mixtape and Death Drop. Snow White also marks Tuckshops' fifth drag-led panto, after 2019's Cinderella, 2021's Dick Whittington, 2023's Sleeping Beauty and last year's Peter Pan."

The cast also includes Oliver Clothezoff as the Drag King Prince plus Yshee Black, Tiana Biscuit, Sophia Stardust and Ophelia Love.

The panto is promoted as "rude, crude" and "very adult" with a silly, raucous tone.
