The beanstalk is growing fast — and so is the excitement!
Crewe Lyceum and Imagine Theatre have unveiled the full principal cast for this year’s Jack and the Beanstalk pantomime.
And they are promising a giant-sized adventure that’s set to climb to dazzling new heights.
Leading the adventure as Jack is Ollie Hart-Bradford (Grease at Kilworth House Theatre and Becoming Nancy at Birmingham Rep), joined by his feisty sidekick Beth Lyons (Fairytale of New York UK and Ireland tour) as Jill O’Dwyer.
David Gilbrook (National’s Theatre’s The Wind in the Willows and The Watermill’s Far From the Madding Crowd) joins as Jill’s bumbling dad Squire O’Dwyer, while Eliza Waters (Heathers the Musical at The Other Palace and Nativity the Musical at Birmingham Rep) promises to bring a sprinkling of panto magic as Fairy Flora.
They join the previously announced West End Theatre and TV star Jennifer Ellison as the villainous Poison Ivy, alongside the hilarious comedy duo Malcolm Lord and Ste Johnston, as Dame and Simon Trott, promising an exciting line-up that will delight audiences of all ages.
The Trotts are so poor they don’t have a bean to their name and what’s more, there’s an evil and greedy giant terrifying the village.
Will they really have to sell their beloved cow Buttercup just to survive?
Come and see if Jack can defeat the giant, win the heart of the girl he loves and turn the Trotts’ fortunes around.
Once again, the Lyceum will have all the ingredients for a perfect family panto with a dastardly villain, a hapless comic and a hilarious panto dame, as well as fabulous musical numbers and bags of slapstick fun!
Make memories this festive season with this fun-filled festive cracker – the perfect treat for all of the family.
