Written by: Jonathan Harvey; Songs by: Stiles & Drewe
George and Anthony have wanted to write an original pantomime since seeing one as students, 20 years ago. It’s a double dream-come-true for them to be working with Jonathan Harvey, who has written this brand new version of Jack and the Beanstalk.
George explains...
"This is definitely not ‘posh panto’, It celebrates all that is best about the medium, and hopes to send the audience home singing some of the ten new songs which we like to describe as ‘really very silly’!.
It’s a chance to let our hair down, so we’ve plundered wildly – we range from the Disney-esque ‘A Bog Standard Opener’, through a Madness-inspired trio ‘Raise The Moola!’ to the Act 1 closer, ‘Climb It’, which sees Fairy Liquid leading an inspirational gospel number as Jack shins up the giant runner-bean.
As we said, it’s really VERY silly…
did we mention the club anthem in Act 2?!"
Jack and the Beanstalk ran at the London's Barbican Theatre as London’s Family Panto from
1 Dec 2007 to 12 Jan 2008.
