Beanstalks, Belly Laughs, and Big Smiles: Jack and the Beanstalk at The Towngate Theatre

Published:

Returning to The Towngate Theatre with the same incredible cast as last year, Jack and the Beanstalk proves to be an unmissable Christmas treat for all ages!!  This year's production includes the usual tradition, along with the addition of new technology and lots of panto magic.

The cast bring their A-game once again!! Their chemistry and humour shines through the whole performance and every single cast member brought something special to the show. Our favourite character of course was the lovely Dame, who just rolls out with the jokes and had us in stiches throughout the show. My son was keen to see what terrible costume she would be wearing next and seeing her in the 'weather machine' (I won't try to pronounce the actual word) - (If you know, you know!!) was hilarious! 

One of the standout features this year was the real dog on stage—a surprise delight that made us belly laugh. Another highlight was the hilariously chaotic water fight, which had the entire theatre in stitches - and WET! My 6 year old absolutely loved it but adults loved it just as much too.

The whole production deserves a special mention: the incredible set, the costumes, lights and of course the giant beanstalk!!

If you’re looking for panto over this Christmas and want a proper laugh out loud, warm, christmassy feel,  don’t miss Jack and the Beanstalk.
