They’re here…oh yes they are! Our panto cast has arrived in the theatre and started rehearsals for Jack and the Beanstalk and it’s safe to say they are full of magic beans.
Swansea Grand audiences can look forward to a truly giant pantomime this year, with Radio 2’s Scott Mills leading the all-star line-up. Scott is joined by A1’s Mark Read in the title role, alongside panto favourites Kev Johns and Matt Edwards, Welsh actress and Tik Tok and You Tube star, Jo Osmond and musical theatre performers, Celyn Cartwright and Christina Harris.
Jack & the Beanstalk, which is sponsored this year by First Cymru, will be the third consecutive pantomime that pantomime producer, Imagine Theatre, have presented at the Grand Theatre, following the major success of the award-winning Beauty & the Beast and Cinderella. Both pantomimes were hugely popular with audiences and achieved 5-star reviews. The ground-breaking digital sets are back this year with a brand-new version for Jack and the Beanstalk.
Elliott King, Cabinet Member for Culture, Human Rights and Equalities commented:
“The Grand Theatre gearing up for its panto makes it feel like Christmas is on its way. I’m really excited about the new digital set that is being created and look forward to seeing all the on stage antics that we know and love.”
The Trots are so poor they don’t have a bean to their name and what’s more, there’s an evil and greedy giant terrifying the village. Will they really have to sell Buttercup, the family cow just to survive?
Can Jack defeat the giant, win the heart of the girl he loves and turn the Trots’ fortunes around? Once again, Swansea Grand will have all the ingredients for a perfect family panto with a dastardly villain, a hapless comic and a hilarious panto dame, as well as fabulous musical numbers and bags of slapstick fun!
