Bristol Hippodrome’s Theatre Director Ben Phillips said: “I am so excited for this year's family Christmas treat, and Jack and the Beanstalk is the classic British pantomime! And what a cast we have, good, evil, glamour, comedy and family favourites. I'll let you decide who is who! Bristol audiences love their family panto and with Will, Charlie, Richard and Sooty, Andy, Ceri and Ashlyn entertaining us, I'm sure we'll be booked up quickly again! I'm lucky enough to see your smiling faces year on year and look forward to seeing you all again this Christmas. Oh yes I do!”
