'It's Chico time' for Stourbridge as X-Factor star joins Jack and the Beanstalk panto cast with comic Jason Manford
X-Factor star Chico and comedian Jason Manford will be teaming up for a colourful and lively panto production in Stourbridge next month.
Mary Stevens Hospice is bringing a big dose of fun to Stourbridge this February with its brand new pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk.
The show will be at Stourbridge Town Hall from Wednesday 11 to Wednesday 18 February 2026 and promises a great day out for the whole family.
X-Factor favourite Chico leads the cast in this colourful and lively production.
The story follows Jack and his larger-than-life mum, Dame Trott, as they try to save their village.
The evil Giant Blunderbore has stolen the magical Golden Hen, which lays golden eggs.
Without it, the villagers cannot pay the rent on Trott’s Farm and all hope seems lost.
With a little fairy magic and lots of courage, Jack sets off on a funny and exciting adventure to defeat the giant and bring the hen home.
Audiences can look forward to plenty of laughs, catchy songs and eye-catching special effects.
There are school performances at 9.30am on Wednesday 11, Thursday 12 and Friday 13 February.
Public shows take place on Saturday 14 February at 3.15pm, and Sunday 15 February at 1.30pm and 6pm.
Tickets cost from £15 for children and £20 for adults, with booking fees. To book, visit the Dudley Borough Halls website.
