Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack and the Beanstalk at London Palladium

Why see Jack and the Beanstalk?

A monumental new panto

FE-FI-FO-FUM we smell the blood of brand new Palladium panto! Coming to London this Christmas, the team behind the last few glittering years of panto-perfection at the venue present this Giant hit, with more laughs, lavish costumes, and breathtaking sets than ever! Starring Dawn French and Alexandra Burke (in her Panto debut) alongside the dazzling ensemble of Julian Clary, Paul Zerdin, Gary Wilmot and the one and only (Nigel) Havers, expect another monumental family hit in 2022. Further cast TBA!

What is the story?

A true classic of the panto repertoire, Jack and the Beanstalk is the story of young buck Jack, who heads to market to sell his hard-up family's last cow. But instead of coming up with some decent cash, the silly boy comes back with a handful of 'magic beans' much to his mother's chagrin. Throwing them on the floor, she sends Jack to bed without any dinner. But during the night a massive beanstalk grows from the beans, leading to a huge castle. Jack sees his opportunity and climbs up finding a fearsome Giant's home! Seeing his chance, he decides to lift a few items, including a magic harp and a goose that lays golden eggs. But the Giant isn't going to let this home invasion slide, leading to a massive adventure for Jack, his mother and the whole village!

Not for the kids - so just take them to a traditional panto

This was my first palladium Panto but I had heard much about them - definitely more of an adult Panto, than the traditional "he's behind you nonsense," and it didn't disappoint. If you have sense of humour, you'll love it - if you don't or are one of those easily offended soft type, don't go.. it's too much fun for you, sorry. :) ... Read more

Wonderful

What a fantastic way to get into the Christmas Spirit. Julian Clary already had his fellow actors ( along with all the audience) laughing. The scenery, costumes and lighting are spectacular and the beanstalk is an unexpected addition. If you can get to see this panto you won’t regret it- haven’t laughed so much for a long while. ...
