Jack and the Beanstalk at Metro Theatre

Celebrating 40 magical years of panto at Metro Theatre, Jack and the Beanstalk takes the stage with all the laughter, sparkle, and joyous chaos that have made this holiday tradition so beloved.

In this delightfully mischievous retelling of the classic tale, young Jack sets off on an adventure that climbs far beyond his wildest dreams — from a dancing cow and a wise-cracking goose to a bumbling giant who’s equal parts menace and merriment. The beanstalk may be tall, but the heart of this story is even bigger.

Bursting with slapstick comedy, colourful characters, audience call-and-response, and festive music, this traditional British pantomime invites families and theatre-lovers of all ages to share in the magic of the season. It’s silly, it’s joyful, and it’s everything a holiday outing should be.

A jubilant celebration of community, imagination, and theatrical tradition — perfect for creating new holiday memories together.
