Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack and the Beanstalk description

Welcome to Jack and the Beanstalk, another brilliant Christmas panto from the Lyric Hammersmith.

There's nothing quite like settling into your seat for a classic festive family treat, and this is a West End Christmas Panto to remember! Jack and the Beanstalk is back in town, written by Jude Christian and Sonia Jalaly and directed by Nicholai La Barrie. Big characters, gorgeous staging, amazing costumes, and show-stopping tunes join hilarious comedy to deliver exactly the right amount of Christmas cheer.

You'll join Jack and his cow on an XL-sized adventure to the land of giants, the classic story told with a charming streetwise twist. Will Jack be brave enough to climb the beanstalk, stand up to the scary giant, grab the treasure and save his village? The message behind the magic is perfect for the season as well. Community, kindness and courage sit at the heart of it all, leaving you with a West End feel-good factor to remember.

Following on from beloved smash hit Lyric Hammersmith Christmas pantos like Aladdin, Cinderella, and Dick Whittington, this witty West End musical is particularly playful and funny. The kids will love it, and so will you.

Manchester writer and theatre maker Sonia Jalaly has created work for Kiln Theatre, Donmar Warehouse, Company Three, Paines Plough and Hull Truck. Jude Christian is a director, writer, and performer, an Associate Artist at the Gate Theatre and the Lyric Hammersmith. Nicholai La Barrie (Lyric Theatre God of Carnage. Romeo & Juliet at Manchester Royal Exchange, Tina – The Tina Turner Musical as Resident Director, Australia and West End) is a theatre and film director, Associate Director of the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre and MOBO Fellow.

Like every Lyric Theatre Xmas panto, Jack and the Beanstalk tickets are set to sell out super-fast. You'll want to make your move early to experience one of the West End's best-loved festive events.
