Don't miss the magical, adults only Christmas pantomime of Jack and the Beanstalk at the Charing Cross Theatre.
Great for
Musical enthusiasts | Pantomime fans | Adults
From the cheeky minds behind Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick get ready for a wildly naughty and hilariously outrageous pantomime adventure—strictly for grown-ups! The show promises laughter so hard you’ll lose your stockings. After his unforgettable turn as Queen Gertrude, the irrepressible Matthew Baldwin (“wonderful as ever” – Time Out) is back, bringing his outrageous charm to Dame Trott. Featuring songs by Jon Bradfield, direction by Andrew Beckett, and produced by Oli Sones for He’s Behind You Ltd, this panto is naughty, magical fun—just not for the kids. Book your tickets today!
The story
Jack Trott’s luck is as low as his love life—he’s dirt poor, very gay, and hopelessly single, living with his mum on a crumbling dairy farm, far from any dating action. When he trades their precious cow for some mysterious beans, his unimpressed mum chucks them into the compost heap. But by morning, they’re staring at a towering stalk—massive, thick, and definitely not your average plant. Now the big question looms: is there a giant up there, and is he... in proportion?
These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

We loved Jack and the Beanstalk! I booked tickets on my phone in a hire car on the way to London and it all worked really well.

Laughed from beginning to end! Perfect panto. The seamless storyline was cleverly executed by a team of fabulous performers. A perfect Christmas gift and the best way to start the New Year!Kalpagam

Outstanding show....Truly BRILLIANT... However I paid 155.00 per ticket( £310.00 for two tickets ) where as others seated around me paid only £95.00 per ticket. I gather that I should have bought the tickets directly from the London palladium site rather than agent site. I feel betrayed & angry...Jamie

Ive seen the pantomime last year with my children and family and it was amazing. This pantomime the storyline was lost and it felt more about getting the jokes in more than the actual storyline. The storyline felt a bit lost you didnt really get the full experience of the story. But the jokes are always the highlight of the show but thwy were not blended into the show well and the storyline got lost.
