Final rehearsals begin for Jack and the Beanstalk at Watersmeet Theatre

This professional production, presented by Paul Holman Associates Pantomimes, promises laughter, music, and thrills for audiences of all ages.

Heading the all-star cast is Lee Latchford-Evans, beloved member of pop sensation Steps, who will play the heroic Jack. Lee is set to bring his charisma and energy to the stage, delighting fans of all generations.

1. Joining him is the fabulous Bunny Galore, returning to Watersmeet by popular demand to play the hilarious Dame Trott. Fans can also look forward to incredible acrobatics and comedy from Britain’s Got Talent performer and Guiness world record holder Jay Rawlings, who takes on the role of Jack’s mischievous brother, Simon Trott.

TV legend John Lyons, known for his long-running role in ITV detective drama A Touch of Frost, will bring his charm and gravitas as The King, while the enchanting Wendy Carr shines as the graceful Princess Primrose. Adding a touch of villainy, magician Nicholas Lee will mesmerize audiences as the dastardly Fleshcreep, and the talented Rachel O’Hare will dazzle as the benevolent Fairy of Cloud Land.

This stellar cast will be supported by a junior ensemble and dance teams from local dance schools, showcasing incredible young talent from the community.

The annual pantomime at Watersmeet has been a firm family favourite since the theatre – owned and operated by Three Rivers District Council - opened in 1975.

Cllr Chris Lloyd, the council’s Lead Member for Leisure, said: "We are thrilled to bring this star-studded production to life. With its mix of comedy, music, and spectacle, this year’s panto promises to be amazing! We are looking forward to taking our grandson. "

Jack and the Beanstalk runs at Watersmeet Theatre from 6-31 December and is guaranteed to be a festive treat for the whole family. Don’t miss out on this magical adventure packed with giant laughs, dazzling costumes, and unforgettable moments.
