Drag Race Stars Victoria Scone And River Medway Lead Christmas Pantomime

Two RuPaul’s Drag Race UK favourites are heading to the King’s Head Theatre in London this Christmas, and we’ve now got the full cast for this year’s pantomime.

Victoria Scone and River Medway will star in Dick Whittington and His Cat, which runs from 22 November 2026 until 3 January 2027 at the King’s Head Theatre in Islington.

Victoria Scone will return to the venue as Dragpuss after playing Dame Trott in last year’s Jack and the Beanstalk. River Medway, meanwhile, will make her King’s Head Theatre debut as Queen Rat.

Joseph Vella, whose previous credits include Mamma Mia! and Becoming Nancy, will take on the title role of Dick Whittington.

Patricia Wilkins, who has appeared in Back to the Future and Dirty Dancing, joins the cast as Alice Fitzgerald.

Drag king Jamie Fuxx, also known as Sé Carr, will play Ding-Dong and Elvis Pawsley, while Ash Weir joins the company as Anne Semble and understudy. Weir’s previous credits include But I’m a Cheerleader and the original student production of SIX.

Written and directed by Andrew Pollard, who won Best Writer at the 2026 UK Pantomime Awards, the show will also have a separate grown-up version, Dick Whittington: Adults Only, running from 26 November 2026 until 2 January 2027.

Tickets for both productions are on sale now.
