Full cast announced for Jack and the Beanstalk

We’ve just announced the full cast for this year’s Mayflower pantomime, the GIANT, Jack and the Beanstalk.

Britain’s Got Talent winners and street dance sensations Ashley Banjo & Diversity are returning to lead this year’s cast as Jack and the Trot Family alongside award-winning actor and stand-up comedian Kev Orkian as the comical Silly Simon, alongside West End performers Matt Rixon as the hilarious Dame Trot, Anne Smith as the evil Mrs Blunderbore, Jacqueline Hughes as the magical Spirit of the Beans and Lauren Hampton as the loveable Princess Jill.

Our fabulous ensemble is completed by Grace Burrows, Joshua Egan, Regan Garcia, Albert Green, Cruz-Troy Hunter, Jacob Morrish, Eden Phillips, Jessica Pickles, Ellie Tames, and India Taylor as the ensemble, with Scott Coltman and Lauren Hartley as understudies.

Jack and the Beanstalk is staged by Crossroads Pantomimes, the world’s biggest pantomime producer, led by Michael Harrison and the creative team behind our recent Christmas successes, including last year’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs which starred both Ashley Banjo and Diversity and Kev Orkian.
