Jack and the Beanstalk at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre

The Lyric’s much-loved pantomime returns this festive season with a bold, magical, and hilarious retelling of the classic adventure. Reuniting the critically acclaimed team behind last year’s smash-hit Aladdin – writer Sonia Jalaly and director Nicholai La Barrie – this brand-new production promises a giant dose of festive fun for audiences of all ages.

Join our loveable hero Jack as he embarks on a mission of gigantic proportions, way into the clouds, to defeat his newfound nemesis and save the people of Hammersmith.

It’s Jack and Jill’s first day at Fleshcreep Academy, the strictest school in Hammersmith, and there’s trouble brewing. Not only is their mum the chaotic new dinner lady but the headteacher has pupils on a tight leash: just three strikes and it’s off to the giant, whatever that means. This place could do with some magic – but where is the Fairy Godfather hiding? Get ready for the climb of the lifetime as Jack reaches new heights to bring joy back to West London!

Jack and the Beanstalk runs at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre from Saturday 15 November 2025 – Sunday 4 January 2026.

The production is presented with the support of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
