Jack and the Beanstalk: The Rock ‘n’ Roll Panto
Following the success of previous titles, including Red Riding Hood, Dick Whittington and Beauty and the Beast, Leeds’s favourite panto will return to The Varieties for the festive period.
A very different format to the traditional Christmas pantomime, Rock ‘n’ Roll Pantos mix traditional elements of audience participation and corny gags with a jukebox full of classic rock anthems and chart-toppers, all performed live on stage by an ultra-talented cast of actor-musicians.
Dramatic panto warning: Our rock’n’ Roll Panto contains loud music, smoke effects, flashing lights and possibly a few squirts too, plus loud bangs from the explosive action on-stage (we did warn you about the corny gags!). From experience, we don’t recommend our panto for children under four years old, but if you do want to bring younger children, we recommend ear defenders, and you will be required to purchase a ticket for any child aged one upwards.
