Jack and The Beanstalk

Coronation Street star Calum Lill is set to embark on a giant adventure this Christmas as he headlines an unmissable pantomime at a fantastic new Scarisbrick venue.

Calum, who trod the Weatherfield cobbles as the Street’s bad boy Joel Deering, Calum will play the evil Fleshcreep in the lavish panto which is presented by Anton Benson Productions Ltd.

And he will be joined on the Oak Theatre stage by legendary pantomime dame David Dale who appears as Dame Trott. The cast is completed by real-life couple Danny Childs and Sue Fulton as Jack Trott and Princess Jill, Mary Shanker as Mary the Fairy and Michael Lawless as King Bling.

When Jack Trott swaps the family cow for a bag of beans, his mum isn’t best pleased. But when the beans sprout…and keep growing, they lead to the tallest of adventures in the clouds.

Can Jack outwit the wily Fleshcreep and rescue his sweetheart Princess Jill from the clutches of the giant? Or will he fee-fi-fo fumble his chance to be a hero? There’s only one way to find out.

Audiences can expect two-and-a-half hours of toe-tapping song and dance, colourful costumes, fantastic sets – encompassing the venue’s 4k digital wall, and stunning special effects all wrapped up in a hilarious laugh-a-minute script.
