Have you heard about Jack? Come on, tell us a tale, When you need a good story, Jack never fails! For as long as tales have been told, the character of Jack has been a constant presence in stories. Sometimes clever and cunning, sometimes lazy and foolish, but always coming out on top, fairy tales, folklore and nursery rhymes are full of tales of a lad named Jack. Now, in this new musical for families and children, discover the truth behind the original fairytale hero. Join Jack in his many guises as he seeks his fortune, finds the love of his life, learns the perils of a pail of water and, of course, takes on the fearsome giant. Jack! features traditional stories, original songs, and is performed by three actors/musicians playing piano, double bass and clarinet. With lots of opportunities to join in, families will be singing along before you can say Fee Fie Fo Fum! Jack! is a Little Seeds Music production. Please note: Performances on Thursday 22 and Friday 23 June are currently being held for local schools. Once we have confirmed numbers, we will release tickets to the general public. If you would like to be added to the waiting list for any of these shows, please send a booking enquiry.
