Jack and the Beanstalk
Mon 29th – Tue 30th December 2025
This year, Same Difference invites you on a festive adventure like no other. Jack and his mums are busy preparing their annual Christmas offering to keep the Giant away from the village—but disaster strikes when the cupboards are bare!
With the help of his best friend, a fairy-in-training called Fair-enough, Jack sets out to find a solution. But when magic goes a little wrong, Jack makes the bold decision to climb the mysterious beanstalk. What awaits him at the top? Surprises, challenges, and a chance to save his family and friends once and for all.
Get ready for a magical Christmas show bursting with laughter, music, and audience participation. Packed with mischievous villains, daring heroes, and toe-tapping songs, this fantastic 3 hander panto promises outrageous fun and fairy tale magic for the whole family.
