JACK and the Beanstalk is going to bean the stalk of the town this Christmas.
And there will be better puns than that in the show, which is written by CBeebies megastar, Justin Fletcher.
The genius behind Gigglebitz and Mr Tumble is once again treading The Hexagon’s boards this Christmas, teaming up with his partner in fun, Paul Morse, for a festive adventure that will delight all ages.
Justin is Gil Trott and Paul is Nanny Hydrangea Trott.
There will be fun, laughter, derring do, songs, games, gags and a pantomime cow.
The show also stars Carl Tracey as Jack Trott, Rachel Delooze as Fairy Bluebell, and Ryan Alexander-Full as Walter Botemme.
There will be a fabulous ensemble of singers and dancers and the return of the Junior Chorus, played by local youngsters who successfully auditioned in the summer.
The panto runs from Saturday, December 3, through to Monday, January 2. Tickets are on sale from £14, and there are a number of relaxed and signed performances to enjoy.
