The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre’s beloved pantomime returns this festive season with Jack and the Beanstalk, and the venue has unveiled first-look production images as the show runs through until Sunday 4 January 2026.
Continuing the Lyric’s tradition of delivering some of West London’s finest pantomimes, Jack and the Beanstalk reunites the acclaimed creative duo of writer Sonia Jalaly and director Nicholai La Barrie, following last year’s smash-hit Aladdin.
The cast features Jade Hackett as Fairy Godfather, Sam Harrison as Dame Trott, Joey James as Jack, EastEnders and West End star John Partridge as Fleshcreep, and Sienna Widd as Jill.
The ensemble includes Gabriela Benedetti, Harriet Caplan-Dean, Robert Donnelly and Rachel Seirian.
The creative team boasts Set and Costume Designer Georgia Lowe, Choreographer Kayla Lomas-Kirton, Lighting Designer Matt Haskins, Composer and Arranger Corin Buckeridge, Sound Designer Nick Manning, Musical Director Adam Gerber, Casting Director Richard Johnston, Associate Musical Director Olivia Zacharia and Assistant Director Gráinne Flynn.
Jack and the Beanstalk is presented with the support of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
Looking ahead, Lyric Hammersmith Theatre has announced its 2026 pantomime, Cinderella, running from 14 November 2026 to 3 January 2027. Written by Joel Horwood and directed by Robin Belfield, audiences can expect show-stopping songs, side-splitting comedy, and the classic Lyric twist.
Raymond Briggs’ Father Christmas will also return for its fifteenth year in the Studio from 18 November to 31 December 2026, co-produced with Pins & Needles Productions.
