Jack and the Beanstalk
London's Family Panto
Fee Fi Fo Fum I smell the blood of an Englishman…
London's favourite family pantomime is back! The Barbican’s seasonal pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, is a festive feast of crazy costumes, super sets, flying fairies, ditzy dames, slapstick and silliness. This is the perfect festive treat and a Christmas show the whole of London can enjoy!
The year wouldn’t be complete without a great panto, so bring your family, friends and neighbours and join us for Jack and the Beanstalk a show filled with, songs, laughter, excitement and more than a little bit of festive magic!
When Jack swaps Daisy the Cow for some magic beans, they grow into an enormous magic beanstalk. Can Jack climb the beanstalk, save the lovely Princess Melody from the giant and escape with all his arms and legs? Come along and follow Jack up the beanstalk to find out!
This year in Jack and the Beanstalk, popular comic actors Mel Giedroyc (Mel and Sue) plays Fairy Liquid and Steve Furst (Little Britain) stars as the show's wicked baddie, Beastly Boris. Panto veteran Andy Gray plays our delectable Dame - Dolly Deluxe.
The year wouldn’t be complete without a great panto, so join us for Jack and the Beanstalk a show filled with, songs, laughter, excitement and more than a little bit of festive magic.

Not for the kids - so just take them to a traditional panto
This was my first palladium Panto but I had heard much about them - definitely more of an adult Panto, than the traditional "he's behind you nonsense," and it didn't disappoint. If you have sense of humour, you'll love it - if you don't or are one of those easily offended soft type, don't go.. it's too much fun for you, sorry. :) ... Read more

Wonderful
What a fantastic way to get into the Christmas Spirit.
Julian Clary already had his fellow actors ( along with all the audience) laughing. The scenery, costumes and lighting are spectacular and the beanstalk is an unexpected addition. If you can get to see this panto you won’t regret it- haven’t laughed so much for a long while. ... Read more
