Hartlepool Town Hall Theatre has been transformed into a winter wonderland for a fortnight thanks to festive pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk.

Starring Hartlepool’s own Britain’s Got Talent star Danny Postill as well as hip-hop dance crew Ruff Diamond, this AJ Productions show is an experience I will never forget.

Despite having technical difficulties at the start, the show kicked off in full swing with a cast performance of Kelly Clarkson’s Underneath the Tree and a very festive stage set.

With snow-topped houses and a spirited dairy cow, we began our journey with Jack and Jill as they sold their sweet Caroline for magic beans and a quest to overthrow the giant.

From start to finish, cast members captured the hearts of each and every audience member, making us laugh, dance and sing.

With Christmas cracker-style jokes and a special performance from Val Armstrong’s Ruff Diamond crew, this year’s show will please people of all ages.

If you’re wondering if this is the show for you then let me tell you: “Anything is possible with a little fairy magic”.
