KickstArt Theatre’s magical pantomime tradition comes to Cape Town for the very first time!
Join Jack and his hilarious companions on a thrilling mid-winter romp up the beanstalk and beyond, in a giant adventure filled with toe-tapping songs, outrageous costumes, laugh-out-loud comedy, magical sets — and masses of audience participation!
“Fabulous show jam-packed with comedy, surprises, topical nudge-winks, varied songs from the charts & musicals, and a whacky line-up of characters.”
Whether you’re a busy mum in search of family activities, a theatre fan, or simply looking for what to do in Cape Town during the school holidays — this is one not to miss.
Brought to you by the acclaimed creative team behind My Fair Lady and Beauty and the Beast, and the director of The Sound of Music, this is proudly South African family entertainment at its finest.
“Steven Stead’s direction is perfect, as always. Greg King’s set is a pure delight … and Tina le Roux’s lighting design is top-class … Humour is geared for all ages! Don’t miss it!”
