Saturday 18 November 2017 – Saturday 06 January 2018 Press Performance: Saturday 25 November 2017
The Lyric Hammersmith announces the full casting for its Christmas panto, Jack and the Beanstalk, co- directed by Artistic Director, Sean Holmes and Jude Christian, an Artistic Associate of the Lyric.
Daniel Fraser will play Jill and Kraig Thornber will play Dame Lotte Trottalot. They join the previously announced Kayla Meikle who plays Daisy the Cow, Faith Omole who plays Jack, Cherrelle Skeete who plays Fairy Cucumber and Vikki Stone who plays Fleshcreep. The ensemble is built up of six young performers, as part of the Lyric Hammersmith’s commitment to nurturing young talent.
With plenty of magic beans, a loveable cow, an enormous beanstalk, a gigantic giant and a massive adventure, this year’s panto looks set to be the biggest ever. Join Jack on his quest for fortune as Jack and the Beanstalk gets the full Lyric treatment with wonderful characters, live music, dancing, singing and loads of laughs.
