Theatre icons and drag superstars will guest star in the Adults Only performances of Jack and the Beanstalk at the King's Head Theatre this festive season.

Perfect for a grown-up night out, the adult version of the show will be a no holds barred naughty version, with extra Adults Only performances added due to demand on the tail end of last year.

Each of these one-off performances will include one special guest star, who will join the cast as the ‘Magic Harp’, performing their own featured number as part of the show. Theatre icons for the run include Cassidy Janson (&Juliet, Shaftesbury Theatre) on Thursday 4 December, Francis Haugen (Legally Blonde) on Thursday 6 December, Steven Webb (Shucked, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre) on Thursday 11 December, and Oliver Award Nominee Adèle Anderson (Fascinating Aida) on Saturday 13 December. Also performing are Georgina Onuorah (Brigadoon; Regents Park Open Air Theatre) on Tuesday 23 December, and SIX alumnae Danielle Steers (Hot Mess, Southwark Playhouse Elephant) on Saturday 27 December.

Drag queens and kings featuring in Jack and the Beanstalk will include RuPaul’s Drag Race UKqueens Veronica Green (Drag Race UK S3) on Thursday 27 November, Kate Butch (Drag Race UK S5) on Friday 28 November, Le Fil (Drag Race UK S4 & Canada vs. The World) on Tuesday 30 December and River Medway (Drag Race UK S4) on Saturday 3 January. They will be joined by Viola (Queen of the Universe) on Saturday 29 November, and drag king Don One (Joe Lycett Live; Death Drop – The Play) on Saturday 20 December. Completing the line up will be Ella Vaday, who starred in last year's performance of Cinderella.
