REVIEW - 'Unmissable' Jack and the Beanstalk has 'all you want in a panto' comes to Malvern Theatres
I ALWAYS enjoy reviewing at Malvern Theatres, it has an atmosphere all its own – set as it is in beautiful grounds with the hills as a backdrop it never fails to bring a smile.
Principals in this splendid company all break through that audience fourth wall with blissful aplomb – after all everyone’s here on a mission to go home with sore throats from shouting, wet eyes from crying and aching ribs from laughing – happily Jack and Co do not disappoint. Cheeky-chappy Mark James returns to see his Malvern mates (‘Here we are’) as Silly Billy to guide us through the nonsense with his Lancashire lilt. Tom Lister is back too as the dastardly-dashing Flashcreep, a high energy villain (special shout out for his mean Freddy Mercury impression). Also returning is Nick Wilton as Dame Dot Trott making the most of her shocking frocks and irascible innuendos.
