Magic beans at the ready? It's time to meet the team bringing JACK AND THE BEANSTALK to the stage this panto season!
Read it all: bit.ly/JATBCastAndCreatives

ALT A smiley Nikhil Singh Rai as Jack is dressed in colourful layers, as though about to go on an adventure into the wilderness. He has one leg in the air, mid-step. With his left hand, he holds onto a beanstalk branch above his head, which has leafy vines connecting it to a large beanstalk in the centre, growing up into wispy clouds at the top of the image. Scattered throughout the beanstalk are pieces of rubbish. Behind are four sets of steps heading in different directions lit in pink and green. To the left, woven into the vines, blocky text reads "Jack and the Beanstalk".
