Why You Mustn't Miss Newcastle Theatre Royal's Giant 2026 Pantomime
Jack and the Beanstalk is sprouting into life at Newcastle Theatre Royal this Christmas
Join Jack Trot as he climbs a towering beanstalk in search of fortune in Cloudland. With an evil giant to outsmart, a treasured cow to save and a princess to impress, this much-loved fairytale has been transformed into the North East's biggest and most spectacular pantomime.
Leading the cast is panto favourite Danny Adams as the fearless Jack, joined by Newcastle pantomime legends Clive Webb and Chris Hayward as Farmer Trot and Dame Trot. South Shields star Joe McElderry plays the Spirit of the Beans, while audience favourites Mick Potts and Wayne Smith return alongside musical theatre performers Rachel Stanley and Oonagh Cox.
Filled with laugh-out-loud comedy, dazzling costumes, stunning staging and all the traditional pantomime fun audiences know and love, Jack and the Beanstalk promises entertainment for the whole family. Whether it's your first panto or an annual festive tradition, expect a show bursting with energy, surprises and plenty of audience participation.
Performances run throughout the festive season, but with many Christmas and New Year dates selling fast, the best availability can now be found for January performances. The perfect way to round off the festive holidays, January shows offer families more flexibility while still enjoying all the magic, mayhem and giant-sized fun.
