Still time to climb the beanstalk for panto magic!

Published Monday, 19th December 2022

Hartlepool’s Christmas pantomime is shaping up to be a soaraway success – and there’s still time to snap up tickets.

AJ Theatrical Productions are wowing audiences at Hartlepool Town Hall Theatre right up to Christmas Eve with Jack and the Beanstalk, giving a new twist to the classic fairy tale.

The show features Hartlepool’s own Britain’s Got Talent star comedy-impressionist Danny Posthill and audience favourites No. 1 UK hip-hop crew Ruff Diamond, not to mention the sensationally-talented Anthony Turner as the evil Fleshcreep.

With flying special effects, dazzling dance numbers and sensational scenes, it’s definitely not to be missed.

Ian Gardiner, Hartlepool Borough Council’s Head of Service – Active and Creative Hartlepool, said: “With over 4,000 tickets sold to date, Jack and the Beanstalk is proving to be by far our most popular pantomime over the last few years.

“Our two Christmas Eve performances are almost sold out and tickets for the other shows are selling almost as quickly as magic beans.”

There’s a combination of morning, afternoon and evening performances to choose from. Adult tickets start at just £18 and children’s tickets start at just £15.

If you haven’t got your tickets yet, the theatre is offering a special 20% discount to the first 50 people to book for performances from today (Monday 19th December) until Thursday 22nd December using the special code JACK22

Families have been spellbound by the show, with comments including: “Absolutely amazing show … one of the best value for money shows around” and “Enjoyed every minute – absolutely brilliant.”

“It just goes to show that Christmas isn’t Christmas without a family panto,” added Ian Gardiner.
