First Look: Clive Rowe in panto rehearsal

Rehearsal images have been released for Hackney Empire’s 2015 Christmas pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk starring the Empire’s own Olivier nominated dame Clive Rowe as Dame Daisy Trott, Olivier Award-nominee Debbie Kurup as Jack and Hackney Empire favourite Kat B as Snowman.

The full cast includes: Jocelyn Jee Esien, Tony Timberlake, Julia Sutton, Darren Hart, Lori Barker, Leon Sweeney, Emanuel Alba, Frances Dee, Jonathan Prestney, Katie Shearman, Dale White and Georgia Oldman with Sharon D Clarke as the Voice of Davina and Matthew Kelly as the  voice of Giant Blunderbore.

In true Hackney style the production will feature a break dancing cow, bonkers baddies and the scariest giant ever, outlandish costumes and glittering sets by Lotte Collett, buckets of silliness, tons of audience participation and full-on show stopping songs performed by a kickin’ live band.

Jack and the Beanstalk will run from 21 November 2015 to 3 January 2016 at Hackney Empire.
