Little Miss Christmas
Little Miss Christmas is jingling all the way to Southwark Playhouse Borough this December.
Everyone knows Patti Boo Rae is a shoo-in for the coveted Candy Cane Crown. That’s why, this year, she’s competing unopposed - or so she thinks.
Following an acclaimed run at Newcastle’s Alphabetti Theatre in 2024, Little Miss Christmas (LMX) is making her London debut this December at Southwark Playhouse Borough, Wednesday 10th December 2025 – Saturday 3rd January 2026.
The production is created and performed by rising cabaret star Patti Boo Rae (BOOTCUT, ChattiPatti), featuring a different guest performer each night from across London’s drag, cabaret, panto, and comedy scenes. Audiences will be swept up in a madcap beauty pageant that puts Christmassy twist on all the classic categories: Interview, Swimsuit, Evening Wear, Talent, and of course, Coronation. Patti’s pulling out all the stops to defend her title–we’re talking live vocals, lip syncs, singalongs, quick changes, synchronized swimming! And if all else fails, she might just have to fight dirty….
Behind the glitter and humour is a show with real warmth and a sharp eye on identity, performativity, and the festive season’s pressure to present perfection. Written by Coggin Galbreath (BOOTCUT, BIG MILK), the production is a campy, heartfelt, multimedia drag spectacular with references ranging from Mean Girls and RuPaul’s Drag Race to Christine Baranski’s career defining performance in the 2000 live action How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Performer Patti Boo Rae comments, A lot of people are saying I should quit while I’m ahead, but mama didn’t raise no quitter. I look forward to returning to the Little Miss Christmas pageant and proving once and for all that Patti Boo Rae is the indisputable Queen of Christmas. Look out, Nigella Lawson.
