Mischief & Magic Beans!

A towering festive adventure awaits this winter season as the family favourite panto Jack and the Beanstalk lays its roots at Hackney Empire, with Olivier Award-winner Clive Rowe starring and directing! With a bit of luck and clever thinking, can Jack outsmart his way out of some giant-sized trouble? Oh yes, he can. Fee-fi-fo-fum, it’s time to smell some serious panto fun!

What’s the story?

When Jack swaps his family’s cow for a handful of mysterious magic beans, things quickly start to sprout out of control. A beanstalk bursts through the earth and rockets him high above the rooftops into a world in the clouds, where trouble is never far behind.

Up there lives a fearsome giant with a booming voice that shakes the skies - and he’s got a nose for trouble. Jack soon finds himself stuck in a world of golden treasures and towering castles, where one wrong step could mean a very long fall. But of course, this is panto land, so expect huge laughs, sing-along songs, outrageous costumes, and dazzling dance numbers.
