Jack and the Beanstalk opens at St Helens Theatre Royal on February 14 and runs until February 22, promising "giant fun" throughout the February half term. Chantelle Joseph, St Helens theatre manager and panto director, said: "Jack and the Beanstalk is one of the tallest tales in panto and it’s always a real favourite at St Helens, so I can’t wait to bring it back to the Theatre Royal stage from this weekend. Mr Heath is no stranger to the St Helens stage and previously played Jack in 2023. Mr Aucott returns as Dame Dolly Trott, adding to his long list of Dame comedy roles at the Theatre Royal. Jack and the Beanstalk is directed by Ms Joseph, with choreography by Nazene Langfield and music direction from Callum Clarke.
