In two weeks time, Regal Entertainments return to St Helens Theatre Royal with a giant spellbinding Pantomime for the October half-term with a cast of much-loved regulars in Jack and the Beanstalk.


The fantastical pantomime promises to captivate audiences from all generations alike when it runs between Friday the 27th of October until Sunday the 5th of November 2023. Tickets for the dates and their various showing times are selling fast in the run up to the Festive Season.


What's The Story About?

Jack and the Beanstalk tells the rags to riches story of a boy who sells the family’s cow for a handful of beans, getting him into a lot of trouble with his poor mother. The tale takes a magical twist when the beans spout into a magnificent beanstalk that reaches up to a mystical land high in the sky.


Audiences will join Jack on his gigantic journey up the beanstalk as he discovers geese with golden eggs, a magic harp, and a close encounter with a very hungry giant. But he’ll need to tread carefully as the villainous Mrs Fleshcreep is hot on his heels, determined to stop him in his exciting tracks.
