About this event
Newcastle's favourite Christmas tradition is back. The Theatre Royal on Grey Street presents Jack and the Beanstalk, running from Tuesday 24 November 2026 to Sunday 17 January 2027. The theatre bills it as the North East's biggest and most spectacular pantomime.
Who's in the cast?
- Danny Adams as Jack Trot
- Clive Webb as Farmer Trot
- Chris Hayward as Dame Trot
- Joe McElderry as the Spirit of the Beans
Expect the slapstick, messy routines and local humour that have made the Theatre Royal panto a sell-out for years, along with dazzling special effects and plenty of audience participation.
