Jack and the Beanstalk at Derby LIVE

Derby LIVE and Paul Holman Associates have revealed that this year's panto will be Jack and the Beanstalk.

The production will include "state-of-the-art special effects, stunning scenery and a host of colourful characters".

Pantomime producer Paul Holman said, "Comedy will of course be paramount in the production, with plenty of slapstick and audience participation.

"In terms of the cast, all the characters from Dame Trott and Daisy the Cow to Giant Blunderbore, Fairy Organic and Jack will be on stage to tell the tale of good over evil in an action-packed, fast paced storyline.

"Creative choreography, a bang-up-to-date script and a live band will come together with a carefully chosen cast, making this a giant production that's both energetic and engaging."

Jack and the Beanstalk will run at Derby's Assembly Rooms from Wednesday 4 December until Sunday 5 January.
