Climb aboard for a giant adventure at Lichfield Garrick’s pantomime this Christmas!
Lichfield Garrick has joined forces with Paul Hendy and Evolution Productions once again, to bring you their biggest and funniest pantomime yet. This year’s #GarrickPanto is Jack and the Beanstalk.
Lichfield legend and resident Dame Sam Rabone, is back for his ninth year in the Garrick’s pantomime, stepping into the role of Dame Trott. Also returning this year, is fellow Garrick pantomime favourite Ben Thornton, starring 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 hilarious comedienne and actress Gill Jordan (Doreen Tipton) in the role of Fairy Sugarsnap. Completing the cast 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 breathtaking special effects in this spectacular festive treat for all the family. This fun-filled extravaganza is perfect for all ages, and we know you’ll be laughing all the way home.
Due to extremely popular demand, this year’s pantomime will be running longer than ever before. The theatre is once again offering relaxed performances for anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed and 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!
