JACK AND THE BEANSTALK: WHAT A WHOPPER!
Written by Jon Bradfield & Martin Hooper with songs by Jon Bradfield
Directed by Andrew Beckett
Laugh your stockings off to this profoundly silly and staggeringly naughty new adults-only pantomime, from the team behind Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick (★★★★★ "the best adult pantomime in London" - Theatre Weekly).
Jack Trott is very poor, very gay and very horny, living with his mum on a dilapidated dairy farm ten miles from the nearest Grindr user. When he sells their beloved cow for a handful of magic beans, his mum throws them in the compost - and they wake up to the biggest, thickest stalk they've ever seen. Is there a giant at the top? And if so... is he all in proportion?
This magical musical adventure is everything a panto should be - just NOT for all the family!
Following his unforgettable performance as Queen Gertrude, the outrageous Matthew Baldwin ("wonderful as ever" - Time Out) returns to play Dame Trott.
Reviews:
★★★★★
"A hilarious and raucous night out. The script is comedy genius. With a colourful, fun set, camp costumes, outrageously crude and larger-than-life characters and musical theatre references for days, you won’t find another show like it."
Curtain Call
★★★★
"The Grande Dame of adult panto returns. Impeccably produced, flawlessly performed, and riotously funny. Head and shoulders above anything of its kind."
