Following the glittering success of Cinderella, this year, Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch is excited to present the pantomime we’ve all BEAN waiting for with ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ performing from 19 November.
Join us for a GIANT adventure packed with gags galore, an original score, and sensational silliness – perfect for a festive family outing! Expect toe-tapping tunes, live music, dazzling costumes, magic beans, oodles of audience participation and larger-than-life characters in this unmissable magical pantomime adventure for all ages!
We’re proud to offer a range of accessible performances, welcoming everyone to come and enjoy the magic of panto.
What to expect from our Panto Panto is a fun, family-friendly theatre tradition in the UK, usually performed at Christmas. Based on fairy tales, it’s packed with comedy, music, and audience participation. Key Features:
The Dame – A comedic, larger-than-life character played by a man in exaggerated female costume and makeup, bringing slapstick and cheeky humour.
Audience participation – Classic shout-outs like “It’s behind you!” and “Oh no it isn’t!” keep the crowd involved.
Slapstick & Wordplay – Silly physical comedy, messy scenes, and jokes for both kids and innuendo for adults.
Modern References – Pop culture jokes and improvisation make each show unique.
Larger-Than-Life Characters – Expect a hero, a villain to boo, and a comedy sidekick.
Live on stage music – We pride ourselves on our highly professional actor-musician casting for all roles, meaning all cast members play an instrument on stage (as well as act, sing, and dance)
New writing – Each panto is brand new for us, it’s the classic fairy tale with a local spin.
At Christmas, we believe in the magic that fills the air and in the joy of giving that knows no bounds. We believe in the power of togetherness, in the beauty of traditions old and new, and in the hope that Christmas brings – a hope that inspires us to be better, kinder, and more compassionate.
All profits from the concert will be divided equally between Haven House Children’s Hospice and the Queen’s Theatre Charitable Trust.
