Title	Pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk at the Hackney Empire
Organiser	Denise B.
Description	Climb into a world of magic and mischief this festive season, as we welcome back “panto royalty” (The Times) Clive Rowe to the Hackney Empire stage for Jack and the Beanstalk. Join happy-go-lucky Jack on an epic adventure after he sells his family’s beloved cow for a handful of magic beans, setting off a chain of events that leads high into the clouds. As Jack climbs up the beanstalk, he discovers an enchanted land, a powerful giant and a host of surprises, but can he outsmart the giant and save the day? Directed by and starring Olivier Award-winner Clive Rowe, this joyful tale brings together all the best bits of a Hackney Empire pantomime: giant laughs, toe-tapping songs, dazzling dance numbers, extravagant costumes and plenty of chances for everyone to join in the fun. Whether this is your first pantomime or a yearly tradition, Jack and the Beanstalk is a magical treat for adventurers of all ages.
