RuPaul's Drag Race star Jan Sport makes UK musical debut in OSCAR AT THE CROWN
RuPaul's Drag Race star Jan Sport will make her UK musical debut in OSCAR AT THE CROWN as the show extends due to phenomenal demand at The Crown on Tottenham Court Road until 30 October.
OSCAR AT THE CROWN is a theatrical dance party experience, which takes place in a secret bunker in an Orwellian future where the only things to survive are reality TV, glitter balls, and the complete works of Oscar Wilde.
Jan Sport (The Voice, America's Got Talent, RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars) will star as Oscar Wilde from 12 September, joining the current cast Kelis Alleyne as Erika, Elizabeth Chalmers as Constance, Ella Daini as Exile, Estelle Denison-French (Swing), Luke Farrugia as Sonja, Zak Marx as Bosie, Ran Marner as Exile, Dance Captain & Swing, Elinor Morris as Ramona, Isidro Ridout as Exile, Zofia Weretka as Vicki, and Natalie Yin as Exile.
Jan Sport said: “This has been a LONG time coming! I have been part of the OSCAR at The Crown family since its conception in Boston in 2015, so when I got the call to come to London I couldn’t have said yes fast enough. To be able to return to this amazing show that my brilliant friends have created a decade later in my favorite city in the world feels like the best way to make my U.K. theatre debut. OSCAR is the most fun you can legally have in a theatre, and the cast I’m joining are off the charts talented. The venue that has been created specifically for the show in the middle of London sets the tone for an incredible piece of a theatre and an unforgettable night out - so see you all at the bar for a drink, and see you at the show for a PARTY. LONDON!”
Following its success in New York, at the Edinburgh Festival in 2023, the underground dystopian musical invites guests to drink, party and join the throng of colourful outcasts among burnt-out tube carriages and smashed TV screens, as they ignite the fiery embers of a cultural revolution in an Orwellian future, propelled by the dramatic rise and fall of the flamboyant literary icon.
The production is created by The Neon Coven with concept and book by Mark Mauriello, music, lyrics and choreography by Andrew Barret Cox - creator of the biggest RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni hits - and direction by Shira Milikowsky.
