Jack and the Beanstalk cover

A colourful and quirky new version of the timeless tale of Jack and the Beanstalk, with music, adapted for the stage by Jez Bond and Mark Cameron.

Following the success of Sleeping Beauty, Park Theatre’s annual Christmas show returns with their second instalment of The Chronicles of Waa. With original music, magic and plenty of laughter for the whole family, Jack and the Beanstalk is a tale of friendship, love and Tupperware: lots of Tupperware! In Gazoob, the land of the Giants, evil inventor Ms Grimm wants world domination and it seems there is nothing her lovely daughter Grenthel and Geoff, the smallest giant in the world, can do to stop her. Meanwhile in Nowen, a peaceful but poor Kingdom, Jack and his mum Tina struggle to pay the rent. To make matters worse, they have to get rid of their trusted cow, Daisy. When Grimm’s evil plan lands at their feet, all seems doomed. But what will save the day and unite these two kingdoms? Jack’s heroic deeds at the Nowenthian Sports festival? Tina’s extensive knowledge of antique Tupperware? Or will the musical, Mariachi oracles known as ‘The Shepherds Gonzales’ have the answer? The future of the Land of Waa is at stake!

A charming musical that could entertain young audiences all year round * British Theatre Guide *
The Princess Bride with a dash of Disney ... the eminently hummable original music and lyrics are a hit * Time Out *
There's much fun to be had * Metro *
Oodles of sparkly bits, silliness and slapstick, bags of hissing and booing, and a script so clean you could eat your dinner off it * Stage *
