Polka Dot Pantomimes and the White Rock are delighted to announce the Pantomime you’ve all BEAN waiting for this Christmas – JACK AND THE BEANSTALK!
Pantomime at the White Rock is always the highlight of the festive calendar and this year’s show promises to be bigger and better than ever as we present a GIANT of a pantomime suitable for the whole family.
Stepping into the spotlight as Jack is acclaimed actor, comedian, and TV personality, Richard Blackwood. Richard’s TV credits include playing Vincent Hubbard in EastEnders, and Felix Westwood in Hollyoaks. He has also performed in the West End starring as Donkey in the original cast of Shrek the Musical; fronted his own TV series, The Richard Blackwood Show; presented BBC’s Top of the Pops; and had a successful music career.
Joining him is soap star Clair Norris known for her role as Bernadette Taylor in BBC’s EastEnders. Clair has also fronted the Panorama documentary Obesity: Who Cares If I’m Bigger, as well as starring in Bloods (Sky Comedy) and ITVs Tell Me Everything.
Panto favourites Ben Watson (Silly Simon) and Tim McArthur (Fleshcreep) are back for another year, and funnier than ever. Tim will also be directing this year bringing his own signature style and flair to the whole show! Rounding out the stellar cast is performer Mark Two as the lovable Dame, Tilly Trott and rising star Abi Ellis-Walter as the beautiful Princess Jill.
Get ready to roar with laughter and cheer our hero Jack on his magical journey to Cloudland as he battles to save his best friend Daisy the Cow! As always there’ll be spectacular scenery, dazzling costumes, amazing special effects and lots of audience participation. With a fabulous cast featuring some familiar faces and the biggest Giant in Pantoland it won’t cost you a bag of magic beans but it will be FE-FI-FO-FUN for everyone, so book your tickets now!
