Adult panto production company He’s Behind You! are set to return to Charing Cross Theatre this Christmas 2024 with brand new queer pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk: What a Whopper!.
The news follows their inaugural production Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick, which is currently playing at Charing Cross Theatre to 13 January 2024.
Over 14,000 people have seen Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick at Charing Cross Theatre, which has smashed all previous records for the production team, who previously produced the queer adult-only pantomimes at Above The Stag Theatre in Vauxhall.
This new, naughty and very gay pantomime for adults will be written by Jon Bradfield and Martin Hooper, with songs by Bradfield.
The show will be directed by Andrew Beckett, and star acclaimed panto dame Matthew Baldwin.
Producer Oli Sones said in a statement: “We founded He’s Behind You! to create an annual alternative pantomime for grown-ups in the heart of London, combining the energy and outrageous humour of queer performance with our favourite panto traditions and high production values to offer a joyous, truly theatrical night out in the cold winter months. Sleeping Beauty Takes A Prick has been playing to gratifyingly packed houses, with rapturous responses. We’re delighted that there’s such an enthusiastic audience both in London and beyond for our sophisticated smut, and are thrilled to be able to make a new show this year.”
Jack and the Beanstalk: What a Whopper! will play the Charing Cross Theatre from 23 November 2024 to 11 January 2025.
