Jack and the Beanstalk
A Norwich Theatre Pantomime
This event is in the past
Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum,
Our annual panto looks like fun.
Be you young or be you old,
Come and see Jack’s story unfold!
Jack and the Beanstalk tells the story of hero Jack, who swaps his family’s cow for a bag of magic beans. By climbing the beanstalk of the beans he planted, he finds himself on a GIANT adventure.
Playing Jack is Joe Tracini, who won the hearts of the Norwich Theatre Royal audiences as Tommy the Cat in last year’s pantomime. Rufus Hound, best known for making people laugh as a stand-up comedian, his stretch on Celebrity Juice and the voice behind Waffle The Wonder Dog, will be taking on the role of King Nigel of Norwich.
They will be joined by Casualty star Amanda Henderson who will be taking on the role of Pat the Cow, and comedian Sally Hodgkiss. Be prepared to boo and hiss Dayle Hudson from EastEnders in his role as Nightshade. Linda John-Pierre from Britain’s Got Talent will bring her amazing vocal talent to the part of Fairy Fullobeans.
For the 22nd year at Norwich Theatre, panto favourite Richard Gauntlett will return as Dame Trott. Just announced Karl Minns, one half of Norfolk’s favourite comedy duo, The Nimmo Twins, will be the voice of the baddie Giant Bonecrunch.
The show will be jam-packed full of slapstick comedy, laugh-out-loud gags, outrageous costumes, dazzling song and dance numbers and plenty of chances to cheer, boo and hiss.
We hope to see you there for a lively show that is full of beans!
