With less than a week to go until opening night, rehearsals for Southampton's giant pantomime are in full swing.
Mayflower Theatre's pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, will once again be the biggest pantomime on the South Coast and stars of the stage are busy perfecting their parts.
It will see Britain’s Got Talent winners and street dance sensations Ashley Banjo and Diversity return to lead the cast as Jack and the Trot Family alongside award-winning actor and stand-up comedian Kev Orkian as the comical Silly Simon.
Jack and the Beanstalk is staged by Crossroads Pantomimes, the world’s biggest pantomime producer, led by Michael Harrison and the creative team behind recent Mayflower Theatre Christmas successes, including last year’s production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
For three weeks only, Jack and the Beanstalk will bring all the laughter, spectacle, special effects and glittering festive magic audiences have come to expect.
It runs from Saturday December 14 to Sunday January 5. Visit mayflower.org.uk
