Drag Legend Tess Tickle Joins All-Star Cast of Snow White and the Seven Drag Queens in Newcastle this January
Mirror, mirror on the wall, come see the naughtiest North East Adult Panto of all!
Newcastle audiences are in for a treat this January when Snow White & the Seven Drag Queens returns to the Toon for one naughty night only to kick off its first ever UK tour.
And alongside the celebrity cast, including Gogglebox favourite and Queen of the Jungle Scarlett Moffatt, Celebrity Big Brother Winner David Potts, and Ru Paul’s Drag Race icons, Michael Marouli and Tomara Thomas, there’ll be another familiar face taking to the stage at the O2 City Hall – with opening night guest star, and ‘The Queen of County Durham’, Tess Tickle set to star as the Magic Mirror.
Tess has been performing to sell-out audiences in the North East and across the UK for over 15 years, popping up on stage and screen, and even joining the mile-high club by performing at 38,000 feet alongside The Dragettes as part of Virgin Atlantic’s inaugural ‘Pride Flight’ to World Pride in New York. Over the years she’s rubbed shoulders with entertainment superstars including Shirley Bassey, Elton John, Boy George, Lulu, and more.
Tess also created her own local charity, Angel Trust, which helps to make a difference for vulnerable people across Durham and Darlington with a food bank, pantry, emporium, and mental health hub, and has helped to raise over a million pounds for various charities through her performances and events.
Tess will help to keep the Evil Queen on her toes alongside a cast including Drag favourites Ophelia Balls from Pride Radio and international drag sensations, Janice Dickinson, Andi Martine, Miss Dixie Swallows and Brenda LaBeau. Amelia Cavagan plays Snow White, with Danny Emmerson-Ducasse as the dashing Prince Albert and expect laughs aplenty from Corey Clarke as Muddles the very naughty Jester.
After two sell out seasons in Geordieland, the North East Adult Pantomime is taking the fun to audiences across the country. Following a big opening in Newcastle there are stops in Brighton, Nottingham, London, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, and Wolverhampton from 4th to 12th Jan 2025.
Locked inside her magic chamber, an Evil Queen keeps a watchful eye over her beautiful step-daughter Snow White who has just turned eighteen. When the Queen’s faithful mucky-mouthed Mirror, informs her she no longer is the fairest-of-them all, she concocts her malevolent plan - to take Snow White deep into the Doggers Wood, and make sure she is never seen again.
Snow White escapes, and stumbles upon a Cottage, where she is kidnapped by a gang of girls that time forgot - not the Spice Girls - but seven fabulous Drag Queens - Itchy, Bitchy, Tipsy, Tiny, Horny, Windy and Pot. They decide to adopt her and make her their new drag project. Their party is interrupted when a knock at the door reveals a mysterious lost hag. Will they buy something from her Avon catalogue, or can she persuade Snow White to try an apple shot - it is her birthday after all? Snow White and her Drag sisters overindulge and soon find themselves trapped in a deathly sleep. Will the Wicked Queen get to wear her crown forever or has she overlooked the wandering Prince Albert who is looking for his own happy ending in the woods?
With fabulous costumes, stunning effects and a soundtrack camper than Elton John in a boob tube at Christmas, save the date for this unmissable fabulously filthy night out!
