Jack and the Beanstalk

Jason Manford and Ben Nickless are to reunite for this year’s pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk at Manchester Opera House!
In partnership with Crossroads Pantomimes, the world’s biggest pantomime producer, we’ll now be staging a magical new production of Jack and the Beanstalk starring comedy superstar Jason Manford, who returns to lead the cast of this year’s gigantic family pantomime from Saturday 2 December 2023. He is joined by returning Manchester panto favourite Ben Nickless as Silly Simon, seeing the dynamic duo reunite for a second year.

Doomed to sell his trusty cow, join Jack and his family as they fight to outwit the evil giant, win riches beyond his wildest dreams and the hand of the girl he loves. Expect laughs, music, special effects, magic beans and bundles of audience participation in this giant of a pantomime!
