Ben Crocker has become known for his modern, fast paced pantomimes full of family fun and Jack and the Beanstalk is no different. With toe-tapping music, lots of fun and the usual corny jokes, this pantomime is true to the original fairy story as we see Jack sell Daisy the cow for beans which grow into a magical beanstalk into the land of the giant. Jack is a sparky, brave principal boy who falls in love with a beautiful princess whom he has to save from the clutches of the soul-loving giant and his nasty henchman Slimeball, gaining some riches along the way. Jack’s mother Dame Trot and her milk man Simple Simon help him in his task along with Edena the Eco Fairy and a great ensemble. ​
