Always a highlight of London theatre’s Christmas line-up, this year the annual Lyric Hammersmith pantomime is scaling new heights with a hilarious take on Jack And The Beanstalk – so we took a tour backstage, live on Facebook.
Led brilliantly by the wonderful Faith Omole (who plays Jack) and Kayla Miekle (who plays Daisy The Cow), Official London Theatre viewers delved into a world of golden egg-laying geese, creamy slop scenes (a panto essential!), and, of course, OXO cubes. Check out the tour below.
