Theatre to star alongside Allan Stewart and Grant Stott in this
year’s production of Jack and the Beanstalk.

The
City Lights star will play the role of King Crumble, Allan
Stewart
will be donning his frock to take on the mantle of Dame
Trot, with regular baddie Grant Stott in the role of Fleshcreep.

Jack
and the Beanstalk is staged by Qdos Entertainment, the world’s
largest pantomime producer, which will stage 22 productions
throughout the UK this Christmas.

Michael
Harrison, Managing Director of Qdos Pantomimes said: “For
many years the King’s fielded an invincible panto double act in the
shape of Allan Stewart and Andy Gray and we are delighted that
Andy, once again, is appearing here at The King’s Theatre. We’re
thrilled that he is back with the old gang.”

More
