About Jack and the Beanstalk
The Panto you’ve ‘bean’ waiting for!
Get ready for a spectacular, toe-tapping, laugh-out-loud adventure that’s bigger than ever before!
This year’s production sees the return of a family favourite and local legend, Andy Collins (BBC Three Counties Radio) playing Silly Simon. Bigger, bolder, and funnier than ever, this panto will include all the memorable moments you know and love – and so much more – including the infamous 12 Days of Christmas, because all beanstalks need watering of course!
When a heinous henchman kidnaps a cow and a princess from the downtrodden town of Boggy Bottom, our young hero finds himself on an adventure that he thought only existed in story books!
Expect a jovial Jack, a punch-packing princess, a feisty fairy, a silly sibling, a witty widow, a slippery servant, a kind-hearted king… and a cow with some beef. Oh… and a very large magical plant, of course!
Join us for a ‘giant’ adventure with amazing 3D effects and a bucketful of fee-fi-fo-fun in this fabulously reimagined take on the classic tale you thought you knew!
Further star cast is to be announced so watch this space.
