Thomson-Leng Musical Society
Jack and the Beanstalk
Tuesday 4th December - Sunday 9th December 2012 @ Gardyne Theatre
Something BIG is coming to Dundee this Christmas!
Following the massive success of last year’s production of Cinderella, Thomson-Leng Musical Society are back at the Gardyne Theatre this December with their larger-than-life production of another favourite family fairy-tale: Jack and the Beanstalk!
Times are hard for Beyoncé Castle, our flamboyant and outrageously attractive pantomime dame. She’s completely skint and her daydreaming sons, Jack and Stupit Simon, aren’t proving much help either.
Her only hope of being able to pay rent to the evil Giant – via his beastly henchman Baldemort – is to sell their beloved pet coo, Moomoo. And when Jack is sent to market to do the terrible deed, he comes home with nothing but a handful of beans… and that’s when the magic really begins!
Join Jack, Princess Jill, Beyoncé Castle, Stupit Simon, King Kenny, Fairy Fiddlesticks and slapstick comedy duo Whyte and Mackay, as they climb the spectacular beanstalk to an enchanted land of excitement and adventure, where they must rescue Moomoo the Coo from the greedy grip of a very hungry Giant!
Will Jack succeed in rescuing Moomoo before the Giant turns her into coo peh (Broughty Ferry translation: cow pie)? Will Jack win the beautiful Princess Jill’s hand in marriage? Will the follically-challenged Baldemort get his comeuppance? And, most importantly, will there be some of that tasty strawberry ice cream on sale at the interval? There’s only one way to find out!
Packed with brilliant pop songs, sizzling choreography, dazzling pyrotechnics and jokes-a-plenty, Jack and the Beanstalk is a spellbinding show that’s not to be missed. So, if it's laughter you're after – bring your granny and the bairns!
