Climb aboard for a giant adventure as the Lichfield Garrick Theatre in Staffordshire gets set to perform its biggest and, hopefully, funniest pantomime yet. The annual festive treat, which is an audience favourite every Christmas, will see the Lichfield Garrick join forces with Paul Hendy and Evolution Productions once again, this time bringing panto classic Jack and the Beanstalk to the stage.

The new pantomime opens on 22 November and runs until 12 January 2025, with Lichfield legend and resident Dame, Sam Rabone, returning for his ninth year in the Garrick’s pantomime. Sam will be stepping into the role of Dame Trott while fellow Garrick panto favourite Ben Thornton also makes a welcome starring return as Billy.



Ben says: "I’m delighted to be back in Lichfield for my fifth pantomime season at The Garrick! It really is a beautiful city to stay in for Christmas and this year we even have a wonderful new front of house area at the theatre which is looking amazing! Jack and the Beanstalk is going to be our most spectacular pantomime yet! It’s a great traditional story but we’re adding in our usual sprinkling of jokes, surprises and of course Sam and I will be bringing bucket-loads of slosh!! See you there!"

Joining the cast for the first time ever is comedienne and actress Gill Jordan (aka Doreen Tipton) in the role of Fairy Sugarsnap, while completing the line-up are Joe Feeney (Edmonds) as Luke Backinanger, Becky Sanneh (House of Cleopatra) as Jack Trott and Clarice Julianda (Newsies) as Dave the Cow.



Jack and the Beanstalk promises dazzling sets, side-splitting comedy, interactive fun and breath-taking special effects in this spectacular festive treat for all the family. The fun-filled extravaganza is perfect for all ages, with the audience sure to be laughing all the way home.

Due to extremely popular demand, this year’s pantomime will be running longer than ever before. The Lichfield Garrick Theatre is once again offering relaxed performances for anyone who would benefit from a calmer and more supportive environment, BSL-interpreted performances and group bookings for schools. The theatre is also offering Babes in Arms tickets for every performance allowing families to bring infants under 18 months old along to enjoy the show too!



Jack and the Beanstalk runs at the Garrick Theatre from Friday 22nd November 2024 to Sunday 12th January 2025. Tickets can be purchased online at www.lichfieldgarrick.com or by calling the Box Office on 01543 412121.
