Peter Pan 2024 - Articles Page 18

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!

Starring an incredible line of Drag talent including Drag Race UK Winner Ginger Johnson as Hook, Drag Race legends Kitty Scott-Claus, Cheryl Hole, Kate Butch as the Darling children, TikTok and viral sensation Bailey J Mills as Tinkerbell, Yshee Black as Smee, Mahatma Khandi as the Mermaid, Ophelia Love returns as Villager No.4, and Drag King sensation Richard Energy as Peter.

Rude, crude and not for prudes, this is the very adult, very hilarious, very demure pantomime from the creator of Death Drop, Cool Rider, Gals Aloud and written by Gareth Joyner (A Christmas Carole, Dick Whittington).

Journey 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…).
