It's time to ‘twist and sprout' as the Everyman and Playhouse announce the family favourite, the rock and roll panto, will be making its return to the Liverpool Playhouse this Christmas with Jack and the Beanstalk from Friday November 30 to Saturday January 19.

Fun for all ages, this year's rock ‘n' roll panto promises music, mayhem, a sprinkling of water and some magic beans as regular writers Sarah A. Nixon and Mark Chatterton conjure up a world of fairies, beanstalks and giants.

This year the theatres have moved the start times slightly earlier to 1.30pm for matinées and 7pm for evenings. Following the success of recent twilight performances this spring, there will also be three performances of Jack and the Beanstalk at the earlier start time of 5.30pm.

Last year's rock ‘n' roll panto included the theatres' first ever autism-friendly/relaxed performance, one of the first of its type outside London, which will be repeated on Tuesday January 15 at 5.30pm.
