About Jack and the Beanstalk (Sort Of)
Half Moon presents A Kid Carpet & The Noisy Animals production
Family theatre and rock star legend Kid Carpet is back with a totally brand new show!
Kid Carpet hates panto. The Noisy Animals absolutely love it. So guess what they’re doing? Yep. A panto. Now there’s a beanstalk in the middle of everything and nobody’s quite sure what’s going on.
Featuring Bear, Gorilla, Badger and Hedgehog, this is Jack & the Beanstalk like it’s been thrown in a blender with a drum machine and dodgy celebrity lookalikes. Part air guitar workshop, part magical mess, this lo-fi, hi-tech, big-beat bonkers panto is stuffed with songs, silliness and surprise grannies.
It’s loud, proud and completely off its bean(stalk)!
